By combining stereoselective Michael additions to substituted cyclopentenones with a stereospecific reduction of the C4 ketone, which is controlled by the C15 configuration, an enantioselective route to (-)-brefeldin-A is developed, starting with the easily available chiral carbinol 11.A second technique makes use of chirality transfer in Michael additions to chiral 4-acetoxy-2-cyclopenten-1-one.
