Abstract

ABSTRACT: The chemistry derived from the dienolates of 1,2-dicarboxylic acid esters is described. New methods for preparing cyclopentane, cyclopentene and cyclopent- anone rings affixed to the diesters are discussed. ... There has been an increased interest in methods ... An interesting target for our initial efforts was ... 1, previously demonstrated to be a synthetic precursor ... The approach that we developed is described by Eq. 1.
