Abstract: | Summary. The stereoselective synthesis of pilopyl- and isopilopyl alcohol is reported. The reaction of dimethyldioxanone and diethoxyphosphoryl-butyric
acid ethyl ester afforded the corresponding dioxanylidenbutyric acid ester as the key intermediate. Upon treatment with mineral
acid it cyclized giving 3-ethyl-4-hydroxymethylfuran-2-one which in turn could be converted either to 3-ethyl-4-methylfuranone
or pilopyl alcohol with excellent stereoselectivity and quantitative chemical yield. On the other hand, hydrogenation and
subsequent cyclization of the same key compound furnished isopilopyl alcohol with good stereomeric purity and yield.
