Gd. Mcallister et Rjk. Taylor, The synthesis of polyoxygenated, enantiopure cyclopentene derivatives using the Ramberg-Backlund rearrangement, TETRAHEDR L, 42(6), 2001, pp. 1197-1200
A novel approach to polyoxygenated enantiopure cyclopentenes, alpha -chloro
cyclopentenones and cyclopentenones is described which utilizes the Ramberg
-Backlund rearrangement of thiosugar-derived sulfones. A formal synthesis o
f the natural aminocyclopentitol, trehazolamine is also reported. (C) 2001
