A synthesis of (―)-cubebol from l-menthone is described. The key step involves efficient (90%) and completely stereocontrolled intramolecular cyclopropanation of an unsaturated α-lithiated terminal epoxide.

syntheses of 7-epicubebol (33) and (from (+)-menthone) of naturally occurring (−)-10-epicubebol (39), confirming the original structural assignment. Computational studies support the origin of the inversion as being rate-determining formylation of cis-enolate 27 from a mixture of rapidly interconverting enolates. In the synthesis of 7-epicubebol (33), allylic tertiary C−H insertion is observed as a significant
