β¦ Synopsis
A stereospecific synthesis of (R,R)-phytol with highZy stereochemical purity in both absolute and geometrical configurations was aehieved by utiZi,zing the 5~2 type ring-opening reaction of CR)-B-methyZ-fkpropiolactone, and the SLv2' type ring-opening reaction of isopropenyl oxirane, from CR)-pdegone as a starting material.
Phytol (1) occurs abundantly in plants as an alcohol part of the ester sidechain of chlorophyl, and is a useful material for the syntheses of a-tocopherol (vitamin E)' and phylloquinone (vitamin K1).2 Natural phytol is an acyclic diterpene alcohol possesing an R-configuration at two asymmetric carbons (CT and Cn) and an E-configuration of the double bond.3
