A four step enantioselective synthesis of 1S- and 1R-1,2, 2-trimethylcyclopentanecarboxylic acids [(S)- and (R)-camphonanic acid, (-)-1 and (+)-1 respectively] has been achieved from ß-cyclogeraniol, using a Katsuki-Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation and a pinacollic rearrangement as key synthetic steps.
