Abstract

4-Hydroxycyclohex-2-en-1-one and its derivatives have been used as the key chiral building blocks in a number of natural product and complex molecule syntheses. This review describes the many and varied methods for preparing the title compound in an enantioselective manner and also details how it has been utilised in natural product synthesis.
