A straightforward synthesis of (S)-gingerols 1-3 has been described. The requisite stereogenic center in the target molecules was introduced by Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation using a chiral complex, AD-mix β. This route is simple and efficient to prepare the products in very good yields.

The synthesis of gingerol 1 and related compounds 2-5 along with diarylheptanoids 6-8 has been accomplished using a Keck allylation, Crimmins' aldol reaction, aldehyde coupling with acetylene, and chelation controlled reductions as the key reactions. The absolute configuration of these molecules was confirmed by preparing their acetonide derivatives and by comparison of the NMR data with natural compounds.
