Abstract

A 12-step enantioselective synthesis of colletodiol has been achieved using a cross-coupling metathesis and a Sharpless ­dihydroxylation as the key steps.

11

This compound gives satisfactory spectroscopic and analytical data.

13

Dihydroxylation of 12 gives a mixture of 13 and 13′ in a 10:1 ratio (Scheme [3] ).
