Summary.
Optically active dimethylcyclohexenones, potential building blocks for enantioselective syntheses of various naturally active substances, were prepared. These compounds were obtained by oxidation with KMnO4/Pb(OAc)4 or ozonolysis of the corresponding cyclopentenic precursors, followed by aldol condensation. During the course of the preparation intermediate diols and chiral polyfunctional carbonyl derivatives were separated and identified analytically.
