Abstract
cis-Chrysanthemic acid has been prepared in a few steps from dimethyldimedone via dibromination at alpha positions of each carbonyl carbons. The trans-dibromide which is almost exclusively formed has been isomerized to its cis-stereoisomer by highly chemoselective tandem H/K-K/H exchanges involving potassium bases at low temperature (
