CHIRAL SYNTHESIS OF ASYMMETRICALLY TETRA-SUBSTITUTED CYCLOPENTANE DERIVATIVES BY DIELS-ALDER ADDITION OF CYCLOPENTADIENE TO UNSATURATED ACYCLIC-SUGAR DERIVATIVES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0008-6215(83)84013-0

Optically pure, substituted cyclopentane derivatives of interest in synthesis of prostaglandin analogs have been obtained by stereocontrolled addition of cyclopentadiene to trans α,β-unsaturated sugar derivatives.Methyl (E)-4,5,6,7-tetra-O-acetyl-2,3-dide
