A key intermediate for the synthesis of Tyromycin A, a C-20 tetrachlorodicarboxylic acid, was produced in six steps starting with the dimerization of methyl 10-undecenoate which was obtained from a renewable resource, e.g. castor oil. The acyloin condensation product was then oxidized, transformed to the diene, followed by ozonization, chlorination...
Abstract: - The general scientific opinion on climate change is that most of the global warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities [1]. The aviation industry is one such activity and is one of the main contributors to greenhouse gas emissions [2]. Recently the industry has experienced unprecedented growth both on th...
