A highly stereoselective organocatalytic aalkylation of 2-arylacetaldehydes with a commercially available carbenium tetrafluoroborate is described. The stereoselective alkylation was carried out in acetonitrile/ water, under air in the presence of a commercially available imidazolidinone (MacMillan's catalyst). Key intermediates for the synthesis of bisabolanes were obtained through a simple chemistry. In particular a direct, enantioselective and facile synthesis of (R)-(-)-curcumene is described.
