Concise and Practical Total Synthesis of (+)-Abscisic Acid.

ABSTRACT: (+)-Abscisic acid 1 was obtained in a concise total synthesis from ethyl 2,6,6-trimethyl-4-oxocyclohex-2-ene-1-carboxylate (2) with 41% overall yield in seven steps. A hydroxyl group was stereoselectively introduced by Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation; then, the side chain was appended with dimethyl 2-(propan-2-ylidene)malonate (7); subsequently, selective decarboxylation of diacid 8 established the Z-configuration of the conjugated acid 1.
