摘要
exo/endo‐Hydroxylated cyclohexenones are essential synthetic intermediates for a variety of biologically active compounds. However, methods that lead to efficient and selective preparation of exo/endo‐hydroxylated cyclohexenones remain to be established. Herein, we report the practical and scalable synthesis of exo/endo‐hydroxylated cyclohexenones from readily available 2,6‐diketosulfoxides. We demonstrate that endo and exo geometric isomers of hydroxylated cyclohexenones can be obtained by simple modification of the reaction conditions.
