Abstract
Abstract A enantioselective procedure is described for the preparation of (1R,3R,4R)-1-hydroxy isopulegol 3 and (1R,3S,4R)-1-hydroxy neoisopulegol 4 in 4 steps starting from geraniol. Their enantiomers (1S,3S,4S)-1-hydroxy isopulegol 5 and (1R,3S,4R)-1-hydroxy neoisopulegol 5 were prepared analogously. These compounds were converted to 1-hydroxy neoisomenthol 7, 8 and 1-hydroxy isomenthol 9, 10. Most of these compounds possess an organoleptic property.
