Abstract
The tricarbonyl(2-menthoxy-5-methylcyclohexadienylium)iron hexafluorophosphate (4) prepared from p-menthoxytoluene can be obtained as a single diastereoisomer and displays excellent regioselectivity with a model nucleophile providing a route to homochiral 4-substituted 4-methylcyclohex-2-enones; other related homochiral synthons are also prepared.Keywords
