A short and highly efficient route to deoxy-Melodorinol analogues has been developed. The key to the overall transformation is the use of an enantioselective Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of an (Z,E)-dienoate to control the regioselectivity of the dihydroxylation reaction and a Mitsunobu elimination reaction to control the E-stereochemistry of the,δ-double bond. The highly efficient synthesis stereoselectively prepared four analogues in 3 steps from 4-substituted crotonaldehydes.
