Abstract

Exo-1, 2-diols 3 and 4 were efficiently converted into the corresponding allyl sulfides by means of tri-n-butylphosphine (Bu3P) and diphenyl disulfide (PhS) 2. This method was applied to the introduction of a carbon-carbon double bond from diol 11 to give allyl sulfide 12 in a highly regioselective manner. The allyl sulfide 12 was transformed into (−)-shikimic acid (1) in four steps.
