Abstract
Chiral polyfunctionalised cyclopentanes have been readily obtained in ~65% enantiomeric excess via a stereo-specific Wagner–Meerwein rearrangement induced by bromination of derivatives of the exo-cis Diels–Alder adduct of furan and maleic anhydride, combined with desymmetrisation of a meso intermediate by pig liver esterase.
