Scheme 4.40 – dihydroxylation of allylic alcohol (route C)<br />

Pleasingly, the dihydroxylation proceeded cleanly with no other diastereomers<br />

observed in the crude NMR or upon purification. Optimisation of this step was<br />

deemed unnecessary since it completed the five step synthesis from diene 102b in<br />

45.3% yield. An overview of the synthesis is given in Scheme 4.58 at the end of the<br />

chapter.<br />
