Abstract

A new short and highly flexible pathway to derivatives 3a-d and 5 dihydro-12-oxo-phytodienoic acid, using an electrochemical CC bond coupling in an one-step procedure, is described. Jasmonic acid can be coupled with carboxylic acids in a mixed Kolbe electrolysis in acceptable yields. Functional groups are tolerated and, hence, the method offers a simple route to the title compounds which are otherwise difficult to prepare.
