Enantiodivergent synthesis of both enantiomers of sulcatol and matsutake alcohol from (R)-epichlorohydrin.
Enantiodivergent synthesis of both enantiomers of sulcatol, an aggregation pheromone of Gnathotrichus sulcatus, and matsutake alcohol, a flavor compound of the mushroom Tricholoma matsutake, has been established using (R)-epichlorohydrin as common chiral precursor.
