21. Recently we reported the chelation-controlled highly syn-selective catalytic hydrogenation of γ-hydroxy-α-methylenecarboxylic acid esters. We attempted the catalytic hydrogenation of 12 under the reaction conditions yielding diethyl 4-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylheptanedioate, an alternative intermediate for the synthesis of the pheromone 5, but the diastereoselectivity of the reaction was not satisfactory.
