Abstract
The synthesis of enantiomerically pure (−)‐(S)‐ and (+)‐(R)‐2‐acyl‐3,6‐dihydroxycyclohex‐2‐enone starting from diastereomerically pure N‐tosyl‐(S)‐proline esters 3‐methoxy‐6‐hydroxycyclohex‐2‐enone 1 is presented. An enantioconvergent synthesis of either (−)‐(S)‐ and (+)‐(R)‐2‐acyl‐3,6‐dihydroxycyclohex‐2‐enone starting with the racemic α‐ketol 1 through a conversion of (∼1:1) mixture of diastereomeric esters into one diastereomer by a repeated crystallization, followed by dimethylaminopyridine‐catalyzed equilibration as key steps is described.
