โฆ Synopsis
Sulcatol (VIII) and three of its enantiomeric fluoro analogues (XI) are prepared in five steps and with good overall yields, starting from nearly equimolar mixtures of C-3 epimers of sulfoxides (I), (IX), (X), and the known trifluoro derivative. Reduction of the sulfoxides to the corresponding ฮฒ-hydroxy derivatives is the key step in the synthetic sequence, best accomplished under chelation control conditions using iBu 2 AlH/ZnBr 2 . With the diastereomeric mixtures of the resulting alcohols in hand, the preparation of both enantiomers of sulcatol analogues (XI) via the route demonstrated for alcohol (+)-(II) is possible. -(ARNONE, ALBERTO; BRAVO, PIERFRANCESCO; PANZ-
