Abstract
A new and efficient route has been developed to four derivatives of (R)-4-h ydroxycyclohex-2-enone (7-10) from one intermediate, 6. These derivatives a re useful chiral building blocks in the synthesis of natural products and i n asymmetric reactions. The key step is a stereoselective intramolecular en e reaction with 4 Angstrom MS as the Lewis acid and catalyst.
