Abstract

Our synthesis began with Sharpless epoxidation 10 of allylic alcohol 7 followed by conversion to allylic alcohol 8 using the protocol developed by Ibuka et al. 11 The alcohol 8 was formed in high enantioselectivity (90% ee). Alternative approaches starting from nonanal and using asymmetric addition of divinyl zinc 12 or zinc catalysed addition of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol 13 with N-methylephedrine as chiral ligand gave both lower enantioselectivities and lower yields.
