Abstract

A rapid method for the synthesis of methyl 9,12-epoxyoctadeca-9,11-dienoate from methyl ricinoleate was developed. Methyl ricinoleate was oxidized to the corresponding keto ester, which was treated with mercury (II) acetate to give the required furanoid ester. Dry column silica gel chromatography was used for the purification process and was found to be reliable and efficient.
