    Abstract

    The title compounds, (-)-2 and (+)-2, representing potentially valuable building blocks for chemical synthesis, have each been prepared from cyclopentanone in eight steps. The pivotal one involves a resolution, through the quinine-or quinidine-promoted methanolysis of the cyclic anhydride (±)-10, leading to chromatographically separable pairs of enantiomerically pure forms of regioisomeric methyl half esters.
