Abstract
Peracid oxidation, acid treatment and subsequent Jones oxidation of (-)-pyrocine gave (-)-2, 2, 5, 5-tetramethy1-4-oxo-3-tetrahydrofurylacetic acid. Alkaline treatment of the optically active keto acid afforded the completely racemized one, and the Huang-Minlon reduction of the latter and treatment with acetyl chloride in the presence of zinc chloride gave (±)-pyrocine. By the reaction sequence it is possible to prepare racemic trans-chrysanthemic acid from the optically active one.Keywords
