Abstract

Formyl-TMM (Iron)tricarbonyl 3 reacts with a high diastereoselectivity with organozinc derivatives to Iron stabilized TMM-alcohols. These are decomplexed, under partial hydrogenation, by photolysis in acetic acid to give allylic and homoallylic isoprenoic alcohols. Starting from the optically active complex (+)- 3, this allows a rapid synthesis of (R)-(-)-Ipsdienol of high ee.
