Popis: (±)-Loliolide ((±)-digiprolactone) (I) has been synthesized from isophorone (IV) by two routes. The first utilized the oxidative lactonization of the mono-unsaturated acetoxy-ester XIb with selenium dioxide as a key step, while the second involved the cyclization of the doubly unsaturated keto-ester XVa to XVI with conc. sulphuric acid. The synthetic racemic compound proved to be identical with a sample prepared from natural optically active loliolide.
