Abstract:
The process of the present invention relates to a process for producing 13-cis retinoic acid. The process of the present invention involves reacting a Wittig salt in a solvent with a butenolide in the presence of a weak base and optionally, a Lewis acid.
Abstract:
This invention discloses a novel method for the conversion of carboxylic acids to carbothioic acids and application of the method to the preparation of androstane carbothiolates, such as fluticasone propionate, which avoids column chromatography.
