(R) and (S)-lavandulol are important compounds in the cosmetics industry and in pheromone research. The senecioyl ester of (S)-lavandulyl has recently been identified as the sex pheromone of the vine mealybug, a significant pest in vineyards. We herein report the preparation of the two enantiomers of lavandulol and lavandulyl senecioate, starting from racemic lavandulol. The preparation is based on a two-cycle enzymatic transesterification of racemic lavandulol with vinyl acetate using Porcine pancreas lipase. High enantioselectivity was achieved while the preparation yielded (R)-lavandulol with 96.7% ee and (S)-lavandulol with 92.6% ee.
Selective deoxygenation of allylic alcohol: Stereocontrolled synthesis of lavandulol

Selective deoxygenation of allylic alcohol can be successfully carried out by the formation of alkoxyalkyl ether (EE or MOM), followed by Pd(dppe)Cl 2-catalyzed reduction with LiBHEt3. (+)-S-Lavandulol has been efficiently synthesized by the application of this protocol to the diol derived from the Pb(OAc)4-promoted oxidative ring-opening of (-)-R-carvone. This deoxygenation method is general and selective for allylic alcohols.
