Abstract
The enolates of fatty acid methyl esters 1a–g are dimerized in good yields (56 to 73%) by means of oxidative coupling with copper(II) bromide to dialkylated succinic esters 2a–g. The configuration of meso‐2a was established by independent synthesis. On treatment with ozone the unsaturated dimer 2c is converted to the tetracarboxyl compound 6. Epoxidation of 2g leads to the corresponding bisepoxy diester 7.
