Configuration assignment of stereogenic centers in a β-pinene derivative by 1H NMR and molecular modeling

The absolute configuration of three contiguous newly generated stereocenters in (1R,2R,3S,5S,1′R)-3-(1′-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl)-6,6-dimethylbicyclo [3.1.1] heptan-2-ol (6), stereoselectively prepared from β-pinene in four steps, was established on the basis of 1H NMR data and molecular modeling.
