Abstract

Abstract The regioselective ring-opening reaction of α-methyl-β-propiolactone with 3, 3- ethylene-dioxybutylmagnesium bromide in the presence of copper (I) catalyst afforded 2- methyl-6-oxoheptanoic acid, which was easily converted into (E)-3, 7-dimethyl-2-2-octene-1, 8-diol in good yield.
