Abstract
A new asymmetric synthesis of functionalised cis-2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyran acetic acids is described. The utility of the procedure is illustrated by the synthesis of (+) and (−)-(cis-6-methyltetrahydropyran-2-yl)acetic acid, a glandular secretion of the civet cat (Viverra civetta).
