Abstract

Chiral secondary mixed alkylcopper-zinc reagents were prepared from the corresponding alkyl iodides and reacted with allylic epoxides via an anti -S (N) 2 '-substitution and retention of configuration of the chiral alkylorganometallic, leading to chiral allylic alcohols. This method was used in a total synthesis of the natural product (3 S ,6 R ,7 S )-zingiberenol in 8 steps and 9.7% overall yield [dr (3 S ,6 R ) = 99:1;dr (6 R ,7 S ) = 81:19] starting from commercially available 3-methyl-2-cyclohexenone.
