Abstract
S-(+)-, R-(−)-, and (±)-9-hydroxy-(E)-2-decenoic acid have been synthesized by organocuprate-catalyzed opening of S-(−)-, R-(+)-, and racemic methyl oxiranes. This acid, of unknown chirality, is an important constituent of the honeybee queen's mandibular gland.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
