title: Synthesis of both enantiomers of isorobinal, a novel cyclic monoterpene isolated from the astigmatid mite, Rhizoglyphus sp.
abstract: Both enantiomers of isorobinal, a cyclic monoterpene isolated from the astigmatid mite (Rhizoglyphus sp.), were synthesized from the enantiomers of perillaldehyde in four steps by using PCC-oxidation of a tertiary allylic alcohol intermediate as the key step.
