Chrysanthemic acid (I, R = H) constitutes an acidic component of the pyrethroid, 1 which is effective as an insecticide. Among its four optical isomers, the naturally occurring d-trans isomer has the highest activity.
Asymmetric induction was observed in the decomposition of diasoalkanes in the presence of certain chiral copper complexes. 1 We have applied this chiral carbenoid reaction to the synthesis of chrysanthemic acid\* (ea. 1). Systematic studies have been carried out to achieve an optical yield of 60-70$
## Abstract A facile asymmetric synthesis of [Cβ1β^3^H]βlabelled (+)βtrans[1R,3R]βchrysanthemic acid, required for biosynthetic studies is described. The tritium labelled acid is prepared from the corresponding (β)βcis[1S,3R]βester by selective epimerisation of the Cβ1 centre in the latter, in the
