Regio- and Stereoselective Synthesis of Allylic and Homoallylic Alcohols by the Reductive Desulfonylation of Allylic Sulfone Derivatives. Application to the Syntheses of (±)-Lavandulol and Isolavandulol
Regio- and stereoselective desulfonylation of β-tosylhomoallylic alcohols provided a convenient method for the preparation of allylic and homoallylicalcohols. (±)-Lavandulol and isolavandulol were synthesized in excellent yields by this method.
