(-)-Frontalin is usually used as one of standard molecules to test the usefulness of chiral tertiary alcohol construction. Based on methodology of chiral tertiary alcohols construction via [2,3]-Meisenheimer rearrangement which has been developing on our laboratory, the formal synthesis of (-)-frontalin is finished via successive Wittig reaction, ester reduction, [2,3]-Meisenheimer rearrangement, and etc. The total yield is 34% and the ee value is 94%. The substrate scope is expanded from α,β-conjugated olefins into isolated olefins. This proves the more general characteristic of chiral tertiary alcohol construction via [2,3]-Meisenheimer rearrangement.

Key words: (-)-frontalin, chiral tertiary alcohol, [2,3]-Meisenheimer rearrangement, Wittig reaction
