posted on 2007-12-20, 00:00 authored by Mahesh K. Pallerla, Joseph M. FoxA short, enantioselective synthesis of (−)-pentalenene is described. Catalytic enantioselective cyclopropenation with (R,R)-Rh2(OAc)(DPTI)3
was used to set the absolute stereochemistry, and an intramolecular Pauson−Khand reaction of the resulting cyclopropenyne was used to
establish the quaternary center.
