Abstract

The triply silyl protected 2-methylenecyclohexane-1,3,5-triols 1a-c (C-1: tert-butyldimethylsilyl, TBDMS; C-3: trimethylsilyl, TMS; C-5: tert-butyldiphenylsilyl, TBDPS) were prepared from (R)-(-)-carvone in seven synthetic steps (overall yields: 29-53%). Ozonolysis in the presence of triethylamine yielded the triply protected 2,4,6-trihydroxycyclohexanones 2a-c (85%-quant.). The configuration of the products was proven by NOESY studies and by chemical correlation.
