Synthesis of 2-substituted cyclobutanones as gamma-irradiation marker products of lipid-containing foods

摘要

A short and efficient synthesis is described towards 2-dodecyl-, 2-tetradecyl, 2-(5-tetradecenyl)- and 2-(5,8-tetradecadienyl)cyclobutanones, which are specific markers of gamma-irradiated foodstuffs, e.g. chicken meat and liquid whole egg.
