Attempts to synthesize stereospecifically menthanethiol (2) and menthyl thiocyanate (3) from suitable electrophilic neomenthyl substrates (4a-c) and a variety of sulfur nucleophiles failed or predominatly led to β-elimination products.Almost quantitative
Chiral sulfinic acids: Synthesis of sodium (1S,2S,5R)-2-isopropyl-5-mmethylcyclohexanesulfinate by a novel route
Blanco, Jose M.,Caamano, Olga,Fernandez, Franco
, p. 935 - 940 (2007/10/02)
We describe a convenient stereocontrolled synthesis of the title compound from (-)-menthol; this approach should also be suitable for the synthesis of other sulfo-derivatives with menthyl or neomenthyl moieties, such as chiral sulfides, sulfoxides and sul
