Abstract
Tin(IV) chloride mediated cyclization of epoxy allylsilanes 2a-c [(2R,3R)-2,3-epoxy-9-trimethylsilyl-7-nonen-1-ols] bearing alkoxy functionalities has been examined establishing an efficient method for the preparation of functionalized chiral cyclopentanes and cyclopentanones. This methodology was utilized in the enantiocontrolled synthesis of (+)-brefeldin A (1,6,7,8,9,11a, 12,13,14,14a-decahydro-1,13-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-cyclopent[f]-oxacyclotridecin-4-one) from (R)-(-)-epichlorohydrin.Keywords
