Synthesis of Racemic [2-¹⁴C]Jasmonic acid*

Abstract

(±)-[2- 14 C)Jasmonic acid has been synthesized in nearly 50% yield via the route of the Michael addition starting from 2-(2Z-pentenyl)-2-cyclopenten-1-one and diethyl [2- 14 C]malonate followed by saponification and decarboxylation of the Michael products in one step
