Asymmetric syntheses of (R)-(–)-muscone based on diastereoselective conjugate addition
Abstract
(R)-(–)-Muscone was synthesized in a stereocontrolled manner via the diastereoselective conjugate addition to a cyclic α,β-unsaturated ester of (R,R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diol accompanied by spontaneous Dieckmann condensation.
