Abstract
Copper (I) catalysed conjugate addition of methylmagnesium iodide to R-(−)-carvone and trapping the enolate as its trimethylsilyl enol ether, followed by a trityl perchlorate (TrClO4) catalysed Mukaiyama-aldol reaction, is an efficient method for the preparation of highly functionalised cyclohexanones which can be used as starting compounds in the total syntheses of enantiomerically pure clerodanes.
