Abstract: Starting from β-pinene, nateglinide was synthesized through oxidation, acid-catalytic rearran-gement, hydrogenization, isomerization and acylation. The chemical structure of the target compound is confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS. Nateglinide was successfully synthesized by using natural product as starting material,via six steps in a total yield of 28.1% with the advantages of simple operation and low cost.

Key words: β-pinene, nateglinide, trans-4-isopropyl cyclohexanecarboxylic acid
