(4S)-4-(t-Butyldimethylsilyloxy)-3-chlorocyclopent-2-enone (3a) is prepared from phenol in five steps including resolution of the initial ring-contraction product, (1RS,4RS)-3,5,5-trichloro-1,4-dihydroxycyclopent-2-ene-1-carboxylic acid .Conjugate addition-elimination reactions of functionalized alylmagnesiocuprate reagents with the synthon (3a) lead to 3-substituted (4S)-4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enone derivatives, and thence by stereospecific transposition of the ring oxygen functions to 2-substituted (4R)-4-hydroxycyclopent-2-nones.The efficiency and versatility of the route are demonstrated by synthesis of the (4R)-2-(6-methoxycarbonylhexyl)- and (4R)-2-(7-hydroxyheptyl)-4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enone derivatives, (5b) and (6b) respectively, which are important intermediates in prostaglandin and prostanoid synthesis.
