Abstract
Cyclopentene derivatives suitable as intermediates for syntheses of brefeldin A and analogues 6,7-dehydrobrefeldin C and norbrefeldin A were prepared by epoxynitrile cyclization of alkenyl epoxides.
Key words

References and Notes
The cyclopropane 9 was formed as a mixture of two diastereomers. In the reaction according to entry 1 of Table [1] , the ratio of the diastereomers was 1.5:1 (1H NMR). The configurations of these compounds were not determined.
18Typical Procedure. A 1 M solution of LHMDS (13.0 mL, 13.0 mmol) in THF was placed in a dry Schlenk tube under argon and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in dry DMA (120 mL) at r.t., and a solution of 6a (1.50 g, 6.17 mmol) in dry DMA (50 mL) was added dropwise via syringe pump. The reaction mixture was stirred for 20-60 min, cooled to 0 °C and then treated with sat. aq NH4Cl and Et2O. The aqueous layer was separated, acidified with 1 N aq HCl and extracted with Et2O. The organic layers were washed with 1 N aq HCl, H2O and brine. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was subjected to flash chromatography on silica gel (120 g, PE-EtOAc 4:1 → 1:1) to give 8a (1.01 g, 67%) as a yellow oil.
