Excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97 % ee) and diastereoselectivities (up to >99:1 d.r.) have been achieved in the desymmetrization of cyclopentenes by catalytic hydroformylation. This novel methodology provides an efficient and concise synthetic route to chiral cyclopentane carboxaldehydes. The key intermediate, (1S,3S)-(3-hydroxymethyl)cyclopentanol, for the synthesis of carbocyclic-ddA was obtained in three steps. Efficient access: A Rh/Yanphos complex catalyzed the desymmetrization of cyclopentenes through hydroformylation, thus giving cyclopentane carboxaldehydes with good yields and excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities. This procedure provides efficient access to chiral carbocyclic nucleosides and exhibits good application prospects in organic synthesis.
