“…Enantiomerically pure compounds could become important chiral building blocks in the production of fine chemicals with applications as pharmaceuticals, or of valuable chiral auxiliaries with applications as ligands of enantiomerically pure reagents or catalysts in organic synthesis. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Specifically, enantiomerically pure bicyclo [3.3.0]octane derivatives could become useful chiral building blocks because the bicyclo [3.3.0]octane framework is a common structural building block of a variety of natural products and pharmaceutical compounds that contain substituted pentalenes such as some carbacyclins, [10][11][12] sesquiterpenoids, 11,[13][14][15][16][17][18] macrolactams, 18,19 and so on 18,20 (Fig. 1) 13,21 .…”
