Abstract
Abstract The condensation of propiophenone with (−)-methyl and (+)-bornyl acetates by means of diethyl aminomagnesium bromide followed by hydrolysis of the resulting esters afforded S-(+)-3-hydroxy-3-phenylvaleric acid. The (+)-acid was also prepared from R-(+)-1-phenylethyl and R-(+)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl acetates, whose enantiomers (S-acetaes) similarly afford R-(−)-3-hydroxy-3-phenylvaleric acid.
