Abstract

Abstract Diastereoisomeric (±)-α-bisabolols (7), a sesquiterpenoid alcohol, and (±)- chlorphenoxamine (12), an antihistamine, have been prepared in excellent yields, Both these short and convenient syntheses involve as a key step the one-pot elaboration of a dissymmetrical tertiary alcohol via an organomanganese reagent (5 to 7 and 9 to 10 respectively).
