Preparation of pure optically active (3s)‐ and (4s)‐tert‐butylcyclohexenes

Abstract
(1S, 3S) ‐3‐tert‐Butylcyclohexanol, obtained from enzymatic reduction of racemic 3‐tert‐butylcyclohexanone, is dehydrated to optically active cyclohexenes. The carbon‐13 NMR spectral data and ORD‐curves are given. The optical rotation of the (3S)−(+) and (4S) − (−) −tert‐butylcyclohexene are interpreted in terms of ring dissymetry.
