Lithium or sodium-liquid aimmonia reduction of 3-hydroxy-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-carbolactones (, () and () with or without a C-2 equatorial substituent gives the respective diols (), () and (), whereas the lactones () and (), having a C-2 axial substituent produce the respective cyclichemiacetals () and () as the sole products. A possible mechanism has been suggested for rationalisation of these

An asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-epianastrephin (1) from the chiral benzamide 2 (15 steps, 9.5% overall yield) is described. Birch reduction-alkylation of 2 with methyl iodide gave 3 in 91% yield as a single diastereomer. Cyclohexadiene 3 was converted to olefinic carboxylic acid 6b, and a tandem iodolactonization-radical reduction sequence provided lactone 8 with three contiguous stereogenic centers. Chiral HPLC comparison of diol 12b, the immediate precursor to (+)epianastrephin (1), with 12b prepared from racemic epianastrephin demonstrated that 1 had been prepared with > 98% ee.
