J. Debrabander et al., (R)-CARVONE AS CHIRAL TEMPLATE FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF SOME POLYOLS, Bulletin des Societes chimiques belges, 106(11), 1997, pp. 665-669
Some (4S,6R,7R) 4,6,7-trihydroxyheptyl derived building blocks have be
en obtained from (R)-carvone as the chiral template. A key-step is the
Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of a suitable intermediate.
