✦ Synopsis
Copper (I) catalysed conjugate addition of methylmagnesium iodide to R-(-)-carvone and trapping the enolate as its trimethylsilyl enol ether, followed by a trityl perchlorate (TrCI04) catalysed Mukaiyama-aldol reaction, is an efficient method for the preparation of highly functionalised cyclohexanones which can be used as starting compounds in the total syntheses of enantionaericallvpure clerodanes.

A new enantioselective synthesis of cadinanes, using the Mukaiyama-Michael reaction, was developed starting from R-(-)-or S-(+)-carvone. This approach gives an easy and direct access to the cadinane skeleton and the scope proved to be complementary to a formylation-annelation sequence. The applicabi
