Abstract
3-Aryl-2-hydroxycyclopent-2-en-1-ones, when subjected to asymmetric oxidation, result in enantiomerically enriched 2-aryl-5-oxotetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acids. Electron-donating substituents in the para position of the phenyl ring increase the yield and decrease the enantioselectivity of the process.
