The monoterpene isolated from Mentha haplocalyx, 3,3,5-trimethyl-2-oxabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-4-ol, was synthesized according to its proposed structure. However, the NMR data of the synthetic sample were not in agreement with those reported for the natural product. After considerable efforts, the genuine structure was confirmed as (1R*,2R*)-4-(1′-hydroxy-1′-methylethyl)-1-methyly-cyclohex-3-ene-1,2-diol.
The use of metal reagents in stereo- and regioselective functionalizations of conjugated dienes

Conjugated dienes have been selectively functionalized via 1-acetoxy-4-chloro-2-alkenes and via 2-(phenylsulfonyl)-1,3-dienes.In both these approaches nucleophiles can be added to the 1- and 4-positions.It was shown that also non-stabilized carbon nucleophiles (from cuprates or copper(I)-catalyzed Grignard reactions) can be used.The utility of the functionalizations was demonstrated by the syntheses of a marine natural product and a butterfly pheromone.Finally, the 2-(phenyl-sulfonyl)-1,3-dienes show a dual electron demand in Diels-Alder reactions and give cycloadducts with both electron-rich and electron-deficient olefins.
