Abstract
| - A convenient 3-step synthesis of (R)-7-hydroxycarvone (2)has been developed starting from (S)-α-pinene (7), usingphotooxygenation, oxidation, and fragmentation reactions.An improved synthesis of epoxy alcohol 6 and an unusualTi(OiPr)4 catalyzed hydroxy epoxide to keto alcohol rearrangement are also described.
