Abstract
The asymmetric Sharpless' dihydroxylation of linalool, citronellyl ace tate and nerolidol was investigated. High diastereo-. enantio- and pos itional selectivity was observed for the first two terpenes. A highly diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of (3S,6S)-tetrahydro- 2,2,6 -trimethyl - 6-vinyl-2H -pyran-3-ol is described.
