The absol. configuration of a Ciramadol analogue obtained from (-)-men
thone is established by H-1-NMR-, simulated NMR-, COSY-90-, and NOE-me
asurements. The final compound idino)benzyl-4-isopropyl-1-methyl-cyclo
hexan-3-one (4b), e.g., has 1R,2S,4S,11S-configuration due to stereose
lective Michael-type addition of pyrrolidine to the pertinent benzylid
ene intermediate 3.
