Abstract

Abstract (±)-Muscone ((±)-1) has been synthesised in three steps from 2-(2′-methylprop- 2′-enyl) cyclododecan-1-one (2). The synthesis involves two key transformations: a Lewis- acid-mediated intramolecular ene reaction (2 [RIGHTWARDS ARROW] 3) and the β- cleavage of the bicyclic potassium alkoxide 3a′ to the macrocyclic enone (Z)-11.
