Abstract

The first example of dianionic dioxy-Cope rearrangement is presented. A dioxyanion prepared from a C 2 symmetric dienediol [(S,S)-1,8-bis(benzyloxy)-2,6-octadiene-4,5-diol (1)] with sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide undergoes a dioxy-Cope rearrangement to generate bis-enolate intermediate I 2, which, on protonation, followed by aldol reaction and base-promoted dehydration, gave (4R,5S)-4,5-bis(benzyloxymethyl)-1-cyclopentenecarbaldehyde [(-)-3] with complete chirality transmission from 1.
