Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

(11R, 12S)-Lactobacillic acid (1) has been prepared either from D- mannitol by asymmetric cyclopropanation or from cis-cyclopropane-1, 2- dimethanol by enzymatic desymmetrisation. The syntheses of (l1S 12R)- lactobacillic acid (2) and (1R, 2S) 1- (3'-methoxycarbonylpropyl)-2- octadecylcyclopropane (26) and related analogues (27 and 28) have also been achieved.
