(+)-8-Phenylneomenthol 2, the structure of which was confirmed by X-ray analysis of its 3,5-dinitrobenzoate, was efficiently prepared from commercially available (-)-8-phenylmenthol 3 by oxidation with the Sarett reagent, followed by L-Selectride reduction of the (+)-8-phenylmenthone 6 thus formed.

Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) circumvents a disfavored Friedel-Crafts reaction in the derivatization of the inexpensive monoterpene isopulegol. A variety of readily prepared aryl and heteroaryl sulfonates undergo a formal hydroarylation to form 8-arylmenthols, privileged scaffolds for asymmetric synthesis, as typified by 8-phenylmenthol. High stereoselectivity is observed in related systems. This use of HAT significantly extends the chiral pool from the inexpensive monoterpene isopulegol.
Highly stereoselective cycloadditions of Danishefsky's diene to (-)-8-phenylmenthyl and (+)-8-phenylneomenthyl glyoxylate N-phenylethylimines

Enantiopure 4-oxo-pipecolic acid derivatives were obtained by double asymmetric induction aza-Diels-Alder reactions between chiral glyoxylate N-phenylethylimines and Danishefsky's diene mediated by zinc iodide. The key to success was the use of iminoacetates possessing two chiral auxiliaries, N-(S)- or N-(R)-1-phenylethyl and (-)-8-phenylmenthyl or (+)-8-phenylneomenthyl. Adducts were formed in good yields (78-81%), with complete regioselectivity and high diastereoselectivity (87-96%). The absolute configuration of the adducts formed was unequivocally assigned through NMR, specific optical rotation and X-ray data of appropriated derivatives. These cycloadducts can serve as precursors for bioactive piperidinic azasugars and pipecolic acid derivatives.
