Abstract

The identification of the prostaglandins and polyquinane natural products as important synthetic targets has stimplated the development of an impressive methodology for the synthesis of five-membered carbocycles. In this communication we describe a new and conceptually novel [3+ 21 approach to cyclopentane derivatives: the (trimethylsi1yl) cyclopentene annulation. A unique feature of this one-step annulation is its capacity to ...
