Abstract

3,3-Dimethylcyclohexanone (5) was efficiently converted to methyl β-cyclolavandulate (6) in 74% yield in three steps, one of which included the preparation of β-methyl α,β-unsaturated esters by coupling lithium dimethylcuprate with enol phosphates of β-oxo esters. Reduction of 6 with LiAlH4 gave β-cyclolavandulol (2) in 94% yield and oxidation of 2 with pyridinium chlorochromate in the presence of molecular sieves afforded the title aldehyde quantitatively.
