Synthesis of elvirol methyl ether

Elvirol methyl ether has been synthesized from p-cresol via 2-(2-cyclopentenyl)-4-methylphenyl methyl ether by ozonolysis, dithioacetalization, reduction, and Wittig reaction. The overall yield was 18.8%.

Elvirol Methyl Ether: A New Synthesis and niogenetic Proposal

A new synthesis of elvirol methyl ether (1b) is described.It is suggested that elvirol (1a) may arise biogenetically via a pinacolic rearrangement of a glycol, derived from an arene oxide intermediate.
