title: Synthesis of both enantiomers of 12-methyl-13-tridecanolide and 14-methyl-15-pentadecanolide (muscolide).
abstract: Both enantiomers of 12-methyl-13-tridecanolide{(R)-(+)-1, (S)-(-)-1} and 14-methyl-15-pentadecanolide (muscolide) {(R)-(+)-2, (S)-(-)-2} were synthesized from either (S)-(+)- or (R)-(-)-3-bromo-2-methyl-1-propanol 8 as a chiral building block.
