“…The spectral data of (1S,2R,6S)-1 corresponded to those described in the literature. 40 (1R,2S,6R)-3-Methyl-6-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-3-ene-1,2diol (1R,2S,6R)-1. Similar to the synthesis of (1S,2R,6S)-1, 0.278 g (1.65 mmol, 17%) of (1R,2S,6R)-1 ([R] D 22 þ87.9 (c 1.70, CHCl 3 ), 98% ee) was obtained from 1.50 g (9.87 mmol) of (þ)-trans-verbenol (þ)-7.…”
