The all‐ cis substituted cyclopentane 3a , an analogue of the Corey lactone, has been prepared from a readily available nortricyclanone derivative by a five‐step sequence in an overall yield of 34 %. This chiral building block has been applied in total syntheses of two diastereomeric isoprostanes belonging to the 5‐F 2 family: ent ‐5‐F 2c ‐IsoP ( ent ‐ 1 ) and 5‐ epi ‐ ent ‐5‐F 2c ‐IsoP ( ent ‐ 2 ). Key features of the syntheses are the introduction of the two unsaturated alkyl side chains through an E ‐selective Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction with the base‐sensitive syn ‐aldehyde 10 , along with a Z ‐selective Wittig olefination.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
