Abstract

Michael initiated ring closure reactions of bromosulfone 1 and γ-oxygenated (E)-α,β-unsaturated esters, which lead stereohomogeneously to trisubstituted methylenecylopentanes, proceed also with good facial selectivity. The use of nonracemic enoate 14 in these reactions led to the synethesis of enantiomerically pure cyclopentanone 17. The reason for the preferred anti-selective Michael addition of enoate 14 with allyl and alkyl α-phenylsulfonyl lithiated reagents is discussed.
