A convergent and asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-chokol A was accomplished in six steps starting from the α,β-unsaturated ester (E)-9 in an overall yield of 27% with an enantiomeric excess of 95%. The key step of this synthesis is the asymmetric tandem conjugate addition-Dieckmann cyclization of the higher-order cuprate 8 derived from vinyl bromide 7 with the α,β-unsaturated ester (E)-9.

A new stereoselective method for the synthesis of 3-substituted and 2,3-disubstituted cyclopentanones is described. The key step is the 1, 4-addition of a cuprate to a chilar Michael-acceptor derived from (-)-8-phenylmenthol or the Helmchen auxiliary followed by Dieckmann cyclization of the obtained chiral enolates. The resultant 2,3-cyclopentanones can be transformed after methanolysis and demethoxycarbonylation to the related 3-substituted cyclopentanones.
