Abstract
The easily available bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-3-en-6-ones (1a-f) have been converted into the corresponding bicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-endo,7-endo-diols (4a-f) in an efficient and stereoselective fashion. This preparation opens a route to a family of 1,3-diols with a chiral rigid backbone, potentially suitable as nonracemic precursors for bidentate ligands in asymmetric synthesis.
