Abstract

An enantioselective synthesis of an epoxybicyclo[7.3.0]dodecenediyne core system of the neocarzinostatin chromophore has been achieved via intramolecular acetylide addition and palladium-mediated coupling of iodocyclopentene 5 with alkyne 6. The key cyclopentene moiety, trans-4,5-dihydroxy-2-cyclopenten-1-one 7, was conveniently prepared in both enantiomerically pure forms via enzymatic desymmetrization of meso-3,4,5-trans,trans-trihydroxycyclopentene derivatives.
