title: Palladium-catalyzed reaction of 4-cyclopentene-1,3-diol monoacetate with Grignard reagents producing hitherto unreachable cis-1,2-isomers.
abstract: Reaction of 4-cyclopentene-1,3-diol monoacetate with RMgCl (R = alkyl, aryl) in the presence of a palladium catalyst proceeded with retention of configuration to give cis-1,2-regioisomers as the major products.
