Using chiral hydrogenesterification reaction as the key step, the stereoselective synthesis of (+)-nuciferal 1, (+)-(E)-nuciferol 2 and (+)-a-curcumene 3 has been achieved.

Fermenting baker's yeast converts the allylic alcohol 6 into enantiomerically pure (S)-(+)-3-(p-tolyl)butan-1-ol 7 which is a useful chiral building block for the synthesis of bisabolane sesquiterpenes. The versatility of this approach is shown in the preparation of (S)-(+)-curcumene, (S)-(+)-turmerone, (S)-(+)-dehydrocurcumene and (E,S)-(+)-nuciferal.
