Abstract
A highly enantioselective synthesis of functionalized cyclopentanoids by a formal asymmetric (4+1) annulation strategy was developed. The methodology consists in a stereoselective cyclopropanation reaction between chiral sulfur ylides and 1,3-dienes followed by a, in situ, stereospecific MgI2-catalyzed rearrangement of vinylcyclopropanes. This method is distinguished by a remarkable compatibility with functional groups and a high stereocontrol.
