Abstract

Sharpless kinetic asymmetric epoxidation on (±)-2-(1-hydroxyethyl)-5,8-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydronaphthalene [(8)] followed by LiAlH4 reduction gave R-(-)-2-(S-1-hydroxyethyl)-2-hydroxy-5,8-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene [(-)-(10)] and the undesired antipode: the former was converted into R-(-)-2-acetyl-2-hydroxy-5,8-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene [R-(-)-(3)] while the latter was epimerized and recycled.
