A simple and convenient one-pot synthesis of (1R,4S,6R)-4-isopropenyl-1,3,3-trimethyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptan-2-one was developed consisting in a thermodynamic methylation of carvone (NaH, MeI, THF, 20 degrees C) followed by the epoxidation with alkalinized hydrogen peroxide. The reduction of the obtained epoxyketone with sodium borohydride proceeded stereoselectively to give a beta-alcohol. The attempts to convert its isopropenyl fragment into an acetate group by a rearrangement of products or intermediates of the oxidative fragmentation resulted only in obtaining intermediate acyl derivatives.
