Abstract

The synthesis of (-)-hamigeran B has been achieved, based on a new approach to cyclopentane construction, the rhodium-mediated intramolecular C-H insertion of alpha-aryl-alpha-diazoketones. The endo-isopropyl group was installed by selective hydrogenation of a cyclopropylidene substituent.
