Abstract
Diels–Alder addition of maleic or fumaric esters to 1,3-dienes, followed by catalytic reduction and treatment with sodium in liquid ammonia at –78°, which promotes a solvent dependent reductive cleavage of the carbon–carbon σ bond of the succinic ester fragment, provides a general method for the preparation of derivatives of suberic acid.Keywords
