An Improved Three Step Synthesis of (-)-3β-Hydroxycarvone from (-)-Carvone

(-)-Carvone (3) has been efficiently transformed into (-)-3β-hydroxycarvone (1), which is expected to be a useful synthon or chiral template in the synthesis of natural molecules. This short and efficient synthesis of compound 1 involves regioselective and stereoselective α-hydroxylation of ca...
