β¦ Synopsis
A method for the stereospecific synthesis of exo-allylic alcohols with trisubstituents is described. Using this methodology in combination with Sharpless catalytic asymmetric epoxidation, an efficient synthesis of (RI-(-)-2-acetyl-5,8-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4tetrahydro-2-naphthol ( 5). an important intermediate for the anthracycline synthesis, has been accomplished in 36% overall yield from 5.8-dimethoxy-2-tetralone ( 6) with 93% e.e.. 1) and 4-demethoxydaunorubicin (2) are expected to be more clinically useful antineoplastic agents than naturally occurring anthracyclines 3 and 4.2
