The discussion and purpose for the synthesis of this compound has been reported elsewhere [1]. To a cold (0°C) solution of (±)-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-4-methyl-3-pentanol (170 mg, 0.76 mmol) in acetone (20 mL) was added in one portion Pb(OAc)4 (1.2 g, 2.7 mmol, 3.6 eq). The resulting orange mixture was stirred at 0°C for 2 h. The precipitate was filtered through celite and ethylene glycol (10 drops) was added. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 20 h and filtered through celite. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo to afford a racemic mixture of diastereomers (71/29 ratio).
Chromatography on silica gel (30% EtOAc/hexanes) afforded 3 fractions [total of 139 mg (83%)], 26 mg as the diastereomeric mixture, 44 mg of the minor isomer as a clear oil, and 72 mg of the major isomer as a white solid (mp: 77-78°C).
