Abstract

The synthesis of novel oxathiane 3 and its acetyl derivative 12, from commercially available (-)-myrtenal 4, is described. The addition of several nucleophilic reagents to 12 furnished the corresponding tertiary carbinols in highly diastereomeric excess. The hydrolysis of 11a, b yielded the expected α-hydroxycarbonyl compounds in excellent enantiomeric excess.
