Zusammenfassung:Process for preparing predominantly Z-substituted allylic alcohols of the formula: wherein R1 is a straight or branched C1-C25 alkyl group optionally bearing at least one substituent and/or at least one unsaturated linkage and R2 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, which comprises reacting a vinyl epoxide of the formula: wherein R2 is as defined above with an organolithium compound of the formula above. More particularly, there is disclosed a process for R1-Li wherein R1 is as defined above; particularly, process for preparing alpha -santalol of the formula: which comprises reacting 3-methyl-3,4-epoxybutene-1 with lithiomethyl-2,3-dimethyltricyclo[2.2.1.02,6]heptane.
