Abstract
Hydrogenation of the triple bond of (+)-1-phenylundec-4-yn-3-ol (obtained from (+)-[η6-(3-hydroxyundec-4-yn-1-yl)benzene]chromium tricarbonyl) with the NaBH4-NiCl2·6H2O reagent system in MeOH leads to (−)-1-phenylundecan-3-ol. Ozonolysis of the phenyl ring in the corresponding acetate gives (R)-(−)-acetoxydodecanoic acid, lactonization of which leads to the known (R)-(+)-4-dodecanolide. The starting (+)-1-phenylundec-4-yn-3-ol was thus shown to have the S-configuration.
