Abstract

The title dicarboxylic acid 1d has been prepared in 24% overall yield via, 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO)‐catalyzed coupling of ethanal and tert‐butyl propenoate (3) to 4, S~N~2′‐reaction to tert‐butyl (Z)‐2‐romomethyl‐2‐butenoate (5a), dehydrobrominatin to tert‐butyl 2‐methylidene‐3‐butenoate (2c), dimerizatoin to di‐tert‐butyl 4‐vinyl‐1‐cyclohexene‐1,4‐dicarboxylate (1c) and acidic ester cleavage. Acidic cleavage of easily obtainable 5a affords (Z)‐2‐bromomethyl‐2‐butenoic acid (5a) in 68% yield with respect to ethanal.
