Abstract

Cyclopentanoids and their derivatives are interesting targets in synthetic organic chemistry due to their extensive applications in various branches of chemical sciences like pharmaceuticals, natural and non-natural products. In view of these applications, several synthetic strategies have been developed in the past three to four decades. In this article, we describe our work towards the synthesis of cyclopentanoids and their heteroanalogs involving diverse synthetic strategies during the past two decades. Among these, photo-thermal olefin metathesis, ring-closing metathesis, ring-rearrangement metathesis, cyclopentane annulation, [2+2+2] cycloaddition and Diels–Alder reactions have been used to assemble cyclopentane rings of diverse architecture.
