What is Synthesis of Chiral Hydroxylated Cyclopentanones and Cyclopentanes about?

A method for the synthesis of enantiomeric 1,3-dihydroxy and 2,3-dihydroxy cyclopentanones, starting from a commercially available 3-methyl-cyclopentane-1,2-dione 1, is described. Dione 1 was subjected to asymmetric 3-hydroxylation to afford 3-methyl-3hydroxy-1,2-dione 2. The carbonyl groups in 2 were selectively differentiated by converting them either in dimethylacetal 5 or acetonide 6. Stereoselective reduction of those acetals by using NaBH 4 afforded chiral methyl 1,2-dihydroxy cyclopentanone 9 and 1,3-dihydroxy cyclopentanone 10, respectively. The diols obtained were further converted to the corresponding diastereomeric triols 11-13 by hydride reduction.
