Abstract
(+)-Dihydromayurone (1) was enantioselectively synthesized from β-cyclocitral (7). The key step in the synthesis involved anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement of allylic alcohol 6 to aldehyde 5. Efficient transfer of chirality from the secondary allylic alcohol center to the quaternary carbon center was observed via chairlike transition state with the equatorial oxyanionic bond.
