ASYMMETRIC DIHYDROXYLATION OF LINALOOL, NEROLIDOL AND CITRONELLYL ACETATE - ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF (3S, )-TETRAHYDRO-2,2,6-TRIMETHYL-6-VINYL-2H-PYRAN-3-OL
G. Vidari et al., ASYMMETRIC DIHYDROXYLATION OF LINALOOL, NEROLIDOL AND CITRONELLYL ACETATE - ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF (3S, )-TETRAHYDRO-2,2,6-TRIMETHYL-6-VINYL-2H-PYRAN-3-OL, Tetrahedron letters, 34(43), 1993, pp. 6925-6928
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.
