Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(96)00106-2

Enantioselective synthesis of both the enantiomeric forms of the hydrindane derivatives mentioned in the title, potential chiral precursors in terpenoid synthesis, starting from R-carvone employing two different cyclopentannulation methodologies is described.
