(Chemical Equation Presented) A formal total synthesis of (+)-estrone (4% overall yield; ca. 12 steps) could be achieved via the Torgov diene. An asymmetric allylic substitution is the key step for the construction of the chiral quaternary carbon center of a synthetic intermediate which was converted in four steps to the Torgov diene.

The behaviour of 4-hydroxy-4-methylcyclopent-2-enone and related 4-substituted cyclopent-2-enones towards 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with nitrile oxides is studied.The reactions are always completely regioselective while the diastereofacial selectivity depends on the nature of the substituents. Remarkably, the reaction of 4-acetoxycyclopent2-enone shows complete regio- and diastereo-facial selectivity. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2000.
