The present invention provides a method for enantioselectively producing a nonracemic 6,7-dihydroxy geranyloxy compound from a geranyloxy compound. In particular, methods of the present invention involve enantioselectively epoxidizing the geranyloxy compound and hydrolyzing the epoxide moiety under conditions sufficient to produce the nonracemic 6,7-dihydroxy geranyloxy compound.
本发明提供了一种从香叶基氧基化合物对映体选择性生产非外消旋 6,7-二羟基香叶基氧基化合物的方法。特别是,本发明的方法涉及对映体选择性地使香叶基氧基化合物环氧化,并在足以产生非外消旋的 6,7-二羟基香叶基氧基化合物的条件下
水解环氧基。
