MeBmt 1 was prepared in four steps from the optically pure (2Z, 4R) 4-methyloct-6-yn-2-en-1-ol 8, Z allylic alcohol containing an alkynyl group at the gamma position. The two stereogenic centers C-2 and C-3 in the product were controlled using Sharpless' epoxidation and subsequent ring opening at C-2 of the epoxy acid 10 with methylamine.
