GAMBA, Douglas et al. Enantioselective synthesis of (R)-isocarvone from (S)-perillaldehyde. J. Braz. Chem. Soc. [online]. 2008, vol.19, n.7, pp. 1270-1276. ISSN 0103-5053.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-50532008000700007.

This work describes the enantioselective preparation of (R)-(+)-isocarvone, (S)-(-)-5-isopropenylcyclohex-2-enone and (S)-(-)-3-isopropenylcyclohexanone starting from (S)-(-)-perillaldehyde. These compounds hold the prospect of serving as useful chiral building blocks or intermediates in organic synthesis.
