(R) and (S)-lavandulol are important compounds in the cosmetics industry and in pheromone research. The senecioyl ester of (S)-lavandulyl has recently been identified as the sex pheromone of the vine mealybug, a significant pest in vineyards. We herein report the preparation of the two enantiomers of lavandulol and lavandulyl senecioate, starting from racemic lavandulol. The preparation is based on a two-cycle enzymatic transesterification of racemic lavandulol with vinyl acetate using Porcine pancreas lipase. High enantioselectivity was achieved while the preparation yielded (R)-lavandulol with 96.7% ee and (S)-lavandulol with 92.6% ee.

Treatment of secondary allylic chlorides or allylic phosphates in tetrahydrofuran with prenyl Grignard reagent in the presence of CuCN · 2 LiCl gave geraniol or farnesol derivatives with high S(N)2' selectivity. Phosphate leaving groups were highly transstereoselective for the formation of (E,E)-farnesol derivatives. Furthermore, complete anti-S(N)2' selectivity was observed in the alkylation of optically active allylic phosphates. The present method appears to be an excellent carbon-carbon coupling reaction with high regio-, (E)-, and enantioselectivity. Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone 10) was efficiently synthesized using this methodology.
