    Abstract

    The enantiomerically pure cis-1,2-diol 2, which is obtained by microbial oxidation of naphthalene, has been converted, via a sequence of reactions including oxidative C – C bond cleavage, decarbonylation and ring-closing metathesis steps, into the natural product (+)-goniodiol (1).
