Enantioselective synthesis of (R)-isocarvone from (S)-perillaldehyde

Abstract

Este trabalho descreve a preparação enantiosseletiva da (R)-(+)-isocarvona, (S)-(-)-5-isopropenilcicloex-2-enona e (S)-(-)-3-isopropenilcicloexanona, a partir do (S)-(-)-perilaldeído. Estes compostos podem ser usados como blocos de construção importantes para a síntese orgânica.

This work describes the enantioselective preparation of (R)-(+)-isocarvone, (S)-(-)-5-isopropenylcyclohex-2-enone and (S)-(-)-3-isopropenylcyclohexanone starting from (S)-(-)-perillaldehyde. These compounds hold the prospect of serving as useful chiral building blocks or intermediates in organic synthesis.
