8-Isopropyl-5-methylene-2-oxo-decalin (II) on nucleophilic epoxidation with dimethyloxosulphonium methylide under nitrogen atmosphere gives the epoxide (III) which undergoes stereoselective cleavage with lithium diisopropylamide to furnish the allylic alcohol, 2-hydroxymethyl-8-isopropyl-5-methyl-Δ2-decalene (IV).Conversion of IV into the corresponding mesylate (V) using mesyl chloride/TEA in dry dichloromethane and subsequent reduction of V with LAH yields (+/-)-γ2-cadinene (I).
