Abstract
Stereoselective hydroboration of (−)-isopulegol and subsequent fractional crystallization furnishes the title compound, C10H20O2. The relative configuration of the stereogenic centres has been assigned by means of X-ray diffraction analysis since the monoterpenediol is employed as a versatile chiral building block in stereospecific natural product synthesis.
