ChemInform Abstract
Recent preliminary communications concerning the title reactions are detailed, i. e. the synthesis of optically pure cyclopentenols such as (II), the rearrangement mechanism by means of labeled cyclopentene oxides (III), and the syntheses of a key prostaglandin precursor (V) and of (+)-iridomyrmecin via enantioselective rearrangement of epoxide (IV).
