The enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-myltaylenol

The unusual sesquiterpenoid alcohol (-)-myltaylenol (1) is synthesized by an intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition of a chiral diene accessible from Hajos-Wiechert ketone by a sequence of reactions including stereoselective alkylation of an unsaturated ketone with thiophenylmethyl iodide as alkylation agent. As the link between diene and olefin a sulfonic ester group is used. The link permits control of the stereoselectivity of the [4+2] cycloaddition. After this key step the sulfonic ester group can be removed under oxidative conditions by molecular oxygen as oxidation agent, leading directly to a hydroxyketone that can be converted to (-)-myltaylenol by successive Shapiro reaction, regioselective hydroboration and Wittig reaction.
