A general strategy for the transformation of D-glucose into different (R)-4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enones is described.This has been illustrated by the synthesis of (R)-2--4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enone, (R)-2-benzyloxymethyl-4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enone, and (R)-2-allyl-4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enone, which are potential chiral synthons for prostaglandin E2, the antibiotic (-)-pentenomycin I, and the synthetic insecticide allethrin, respectively.The second chiral synthon was obtained by two different routes, one of them involving a novel palladium(0)-catalysed rearrangement of a vinyloxirane intermediate.
Synthesis of (R)-4-Hydroxy-2-(1,3-dithian-2-ylmethyl)cyclopent-2-en-1-one, a Chiral Prostaglandin E2 Synthon , from D-Glucose

The transformation of D-glucose to (R)-4-hydroxy-2-(1,3-dithian-2-ylmethyl)cyclopent-2-en-1-one (1), a potential chiral synthon for prostaglandin E2 and its analogues, is described.
