8. Under persistent acid treatment or, most conveniently, upon reaction with base, the most stable 2-substituted-4-hydroxycyclopent-2-en-1-one isomers are isolated instead. The utility of the synthetic sequence going from furfurylcarbinols (themselves the addition products of Grignard reagents to furfural) to 2-alkyl-4-hydroxycyclopent-2-en-1-ones has been recognized in the prostaglandin field and constitutes the key step in the synthesis of PGA derivatives.

The scope of the Nazarov reaction for synthesis of cyclopentenoids has recently been expanded by interception of the oxyallylcation by hydrides (8 a-c), or by olefins and aryl rings in cascade reactions (8 d-f). a) Interrupted Nazarov: J.

32. For a straightforward comparison of geometric parameters for the different pentadienyl cations described in the text, the numbering indicated in Scheme 1 for 1 was adopted.
33. The oxygen substituents in 1 occupy positions structurally equivalent to those of protonated alkoxyvinylallenal intermediates explored by Tius for rapid construction of the cross-conjugated alkylidene-cyclopentenone cores of several natural products.

57. The ring-current model is applied to the transition structure of the Nazarov reaction (3 ts).
58. A representation of the HOMO of in-7 ts showing the orientation of the oxygen relative to the helical array and its interaction with the forming bond, can be found in the Supporting Information.
59. These reactions have been described previously at the MP2/6-31G* level of theory (see ref. [15]).
