A highly functionalized cyclopentene carboxylic acid derivative, as an adva
nced synthetic intermediate of viridenomycin, was synthesized. The synthesi
s commenced with the previously reported highly functionalized tetrahydrofu
ran derivative prepared from D-glucose. The stereochemical confirmation of
the present final compound was conducted by comparison with a compound synt
hesized very recently by the Meyers group. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. A
