An efficient synthesis of (-)-(R)- and (+)-(S)-lavandulol, (+)-lavandulyl 2-methylbutanoate and (+)-lavandulyl senecioate is presented in this paper. The synthetic strategy features a chiral-pool approach to an allyl alcohol intermediate, and an orthoester Johnson-Claisen rearrangement as the key step.

The conjugate addition of nitromethane to enoates prepared from D-(+)-mannitol, substituted at the α-position by a methyl or a benzyl group, was investigated. While excellent syn-selectivity (d.e. >90%) was obtained from α-benzyl enoates (used as a mixture of epimers, E/Z=1.8:1), for α-methyl enoates the selectivity depended on the stereochemistry of the double bond in the acceptor (d.e. >90% for the (Z)-enoate and 50% for the (E)-enoate). In all cases, a mixture of epimers was formed at the newly generated stereocenter at the α-position. The epimeric syn-adducts were transformed into the corresponding pure α,β,γ-trisubstituted γ-butyrolactones by cyclization in acid medium followed by epimerization of the stereocenter at the α-position in DBU/CH2Cl2. When enoates derived from L-tartaric acid were used as acceptors, syn-selective conjugate additions were also observed (d.e. >90% for the (Z)-isomer and 50% for the (E)-isomer). The configuration at the newly generated stereogenic centers were assigned based on X-ray analyses, 1H-1H coupling constants and NOE experiments in NMR spectroscopy.
