Diastereoselective α-alkylation/deconjugation of esters of diacetone D-glucose has been performed and applied to the syntheses of (R)-lavandulol, (R)-sesquilavandulol with de up to 74%. The same reaction performed with trifluoromethyl derivatives was also achieved but without significant diastereoselectivity.
