Abstract
A two-stage, three-step synthesis of (R)-1-hydroxy-7-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-1-carboxylic acid from 7-methoxy tetralone is described which employed an optimised Wittig olefination of 7-methoxytetralone and Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation followed by platinum-catalysed oxidation.
