Treatment of a-pinene with Me3COK and BuLi gave intermediate I which was oxidized with H2O2 to give 42% (1S,5R)-myrtenol (II, X = OH) and .apprx.1% (1R,3R,5S)-trans-pinocarveol (III, X = OH). Treatment of I with ethylene oxide gave 25% II(X = CH2CH2OH) and 13% III (X = CH2CH2OH). (E)-MeCH:CHCH2K treated with FB(OMe)2 gave intermediate MeCH:CHCH2B(OMe)2 which was oxidized with H2O2 to give 50% Z-MeCH:CHCH2OH, 2% E-MeCH:CHCH2OH, and 7% H2C:CHCH(OH)Me. Analogously obtained was 58% Z-MeCH:CMeCH2OH. [on SciFinder (R)]
