The enantiopure (1S,3S,4R)-, (1R,3S,4S)- and (1S,3S,4S)-3,4-dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-2-benzopyrans 16, 25 and 26 are prepared in two related reaction sequences, each in eight steps and good overall yield. The starting materials are 4-methoxyphenol 6 and (2S, 1'R and 2S, 1'S)-1' ethoxyethoxypropanal 9, the latter providing the source of asymmetry from the chiral pool. The three key reactions involved in each sequence are either highly or completely diastereoselective. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
