Abstract
A synthesis of the title aldehyde 1 and acid 2, the (R) enantiomers of the antifungal and antibacterial principles of Sporothrix species, was developed. Alkylation of the alkynol derivative 6 with (S)βcitronellyl bromide (5), depyranylation, cis hydrogenation, PCC oxidation, and Zβselective Wittig reaction with hexylidenephosphorane gave the hydrocarbon 11. Its regioselective epoxidation and cleavage of the epoxide with HlO~4~ affords (R)β1 which was oxidized to (R)β2.
