A process for the preparation of (2R)-2-propyloctanoic acid which is characterized by subjecting (2S)-2-(2-propynyl)octanoic acid or (2S)-2-(2-propenyl)octanoic acid to reduction using platinum on carbon.
This process gives (2R)-2-propyloctanoic acid having high optical purity without isomerization.
一种制备(2R)-2-丙
辛酸的工艺,其特点是将(2S)-2-(2-
丙炔基)
辛酸或(2S)-2-(2-
丙烯基)
辛酸用碳上
铂进行还原。
该工艺制得的 (2R)-2-propyloctanoic acid 具有很高的光学纯度,不会发生异构化。
