Asymmetric shielded 2-oxo-cyclopentenecarboxylates 6n and 6x were prepared by trans-esterification of 2-oxo-cyclopentanecarboxylate 2 with camphor derived concave alcohols 1n and 1x and by subsequent introduction of a double bond via phenylselenides. Dias
A convergent synthesis of the cardenolide skeleton: Intramolecular aldol condensation via reduction of α-bromoketones

Synthesis of the highly biologically valuable cardenolide backbone was achieved via anionic polycyclization. Bromoketone 18, obtained from double-Michael cycloaddition between cyclohexenone 14 and γ,δ-unsaturated β-ketoester 16, was efficiently aldolized under reductive conditions. The highly functionalized tetracyclic compound 52 is an important synthetic intermediate that is potentially amenable to natural cardenolide total synthesis.
Enatiomerically pure 5-substituted 2-oxo-cyclopentanecarboxylates by conjugate addition of cuprates to asymmetry shielded 2-oxo-cyclopentenecarboxylates
Urban,Knuhl,Helmchen
, p. 971 - 986 (2007/10/03)
Asymmetric shielded 2-oxo-cyclopentenecarboxylates 6n and 6x were prepared by transesterification of 2-oxo-cyclopentanecarboxylate 2 with camphor derived concave alcohols 1n and 1x and by subsequent introduction of a double bond via phenylselenides. Diastereoselective conjugate addition of equimolar amounts of mixed cuprates at -78°C and deprotection by ethanolysis gave enantiomerically pure 5-substituted 2-oxo-cyclopentanecarboxylates 13-18 and ent-13-18, valuable as chiral building blocks in natural product synthesis.
