Optically active chrysanthemic acid and its analogues have received considerable attention in recent years due to their practical importance. This review will focus on describing the developments in the synthesis of optically active chrysanthemic acid and its analogues. The transformation that will be covered includes the chemistry of enantiomerically pure 2,2-dimethyl 1,3-disubstituted cyclopropanes derived from monoterpene (+)-3-carene.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
