Regio‐ and stereochemically controlled formation of cyclopentenes has been achieved through the reaction of transition‐metal–alkoxy(alkenyl)carbene complexes and neutral 1,3‐dienes (see scheme; BHT=2,6‐di‐ tert ‐butyl‐4‐methylphenol). Reaction conditions dictate whether [3+2] or [4+1] cycloaddition products are obtained; alkenyl‐substituted cyclopentanones of high enantiomeric purity are synthesized by using 8‐phenylmenthyloxycarbene complexes.
