Abstract
Abstract Bicyclo[3.3.0]oct-6-en-2-one, a versatile building block for polycyclopentanoid natural products, has been efficiently synthesized from 2-methoxycarbonyl-2-cyclopentenone by employing palladium-catalyzed cyclopropanation and lithium iodide-promoted vinylcyclopropane rearrangement.
