Menthone and p-menthyl-3-carboxaldehyde as chiral auxiliaries

Abstract

Two chiral auxiliaries and the role they play in the preparation of chiral carbonyl compounds and heterocyclic compounds are presented. Key reactions include SN2′ displacements, Mitsunobu with hydrazoic acid, and 3,3-sigmatropic rearrangements. One of the auxiliaries serves many functions and is removed either by oxidative cleavage or RCM reaction.
