title: Synthesis of (±)-Methyl Tuberonate, a Potato Tuber-forming Substance, and Its Epimer.
abstract: Methyl esters of (±)-tuberonic acid and (±)-12-hydroxyjasmonic acid (trans-tuberonic acid), the aglycons of strong potato tuber-forming substances, were synthesized from norbornene via side-chain elongation and Baeyer-Villiger oxidation as key steps.
