Synthesis of enantiomerically pure cyclopentene building blocks

An efficient synthesis of the enantiomerically pure cis-annulated cyclopentenes 2 and ent-2 was established by the use of an enzymatic transesterification and hydrolysis, respectively, followed by an S N2-type substitution with a benzyloxymethyl cuprate and a sigmatropic rearrangement. The advantage of this approach is the short sequence combined with an excellent overall yield and an enantiomeric excess of 99%. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

Mechanism and applications of lithium amide-induced asymmetric rearrangements of 4-substituted and 4,4-disubstituted cyclopentene oxides to cyclopentenols

The preparation and lithium amide-induced rearrangements of 1,2-dideuterated 4-substituted cyclopentene oxides 11 and 19 are described, providing insight into the deprotonation mechanisms operating in such systems. Highly enantioselective syntheses of 4-substituted cis-4-hydroxymethylcyclopent-2-en-1-ols 32a-c are described. Also described are asymmetric syntheses of prostaglandin precursor 40 and (+)-iridomyrmecin (48) via highly enantioselective rearrangement of the epoxide 3 and subsequent Ireland-Claisen rearrangement.

An Enantioselective Epoxide Rearrangement - Claisen Rearrangement Approach to Prostaglandins and (+)-Iridomyrmecin

The asymmetric syntheses of prostaglandin precursor 8 and (+)iridomyrmecin (12) via highly enantioselective rearrangement of the epoxide 1 and subsequent Ireland-Claisen rearrangement are described.
