Total Partial Synthesis of (3 S,6 S )-(+)-3,7-Dimethyl-6-hydroxy-3-acetoxyocta-1,7-diene and (3 S,6 S )-(-)-3,7-Dimethylocta-1,7-diene-3,6-diol from Geraniol †
The synthesis of (3S, 6S)-(+)-3,7-dimethyl-6-hydroxy-3-acetoxyocta-1,7-diene and (3S, 6S)-(-)-3,7-dimethylocta-1,7-diene-3,6-diol via the rearrangement of the chiral 2,3-epoxy alcohol, with the system Ph3P, pyridine, I2 and H2O, is described.
