Abstract
(9R,10S)-Dihydrosterculic acid has been prepared from (SS,SS)-1,1-bis(p-tolylsulfinyl)methane in a sequence involving an asymmetric Corey–Chaykovsky cyclopropanation and two sulfoxide/lithium exchange reactions. In most steps, the reaction conditions had to be optimized for the unbranched alkyl substituents, which were prone to Evans–Mislow rearrangements and subsequent degradation.
