I) Experimental Section

All reactions were carried out under a nitrogen or argon atmosphere with dry solvents

under anhydrous conditions, unless otherwise noted. Dry tetrahydrofuran (THF), diethyl ether

(Et2O), methylene chloride (CH2Cl2), and toluene were obtained by distillation (from CaH2

for CH2Cl2, sodium/benzophenone for THF, from sodium for toluene and, from sodium

benzophenone for Et2O). Methanol (MeOH), N,N'-dimethylformamide (DMF) and

dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) were purchased in anhydrous form and used without further

purification. Ethyl acetate (EtOAc), diethyl ether (Et2O), methylene chloride (CH2Cl2), and

cyclohexane were purchased at ACS grade quality and used without further purification,

unless otherwise stated. Reagents were purchased at the highest commercial quality and used

without further purification, unless otherwise stated. Yields refer to chromatographically and

spectroscopically (1H NMR and 13C NMR) homogeneous materials, unless otherwise stated.

Reactions were monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) carried out on Merck silica

gel plates with QF-254 indicator and an ethanolic solution of ammonium molybdate or

potassium permanganate and heat as developing agents. Merck silica gel (60, particle size

0.040-0.063 mm) was used for flash column chromatography. NMR spectra were recorded on

Bruker Advance DMX -300 or -200 instruments and calibrated using residual undeuterated

solvent as an internal reference (7.26 ppm and 77.00 ppm for 1H and 13C NMR in CDCl3; 7.16

ppm and 128.06 ppm for 1H and 13C NMR in C6D6). The following abbreviations were used

to describe the multiplicities: s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, quint = quintet,

m = multiplet, pent = pentet, hex = hexet, br = broad. IR spectra were recorded on a

PerkinElmer Spectrum 100 FT-IR-spectrometer with only major peaks being reported. High-

resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were recorded on an LCT Premier XE benchtop orthogonal

acceleration time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer (Waters Micromass).

● General procedure A for the synthesis of known alkylated cyclopentanediones:

The alkylated cyclopentanediones were prepared according to a slightly modified procedure

from Ramachary:1 To a stirred solution of cyclopentanedione (1.0 eq), aldehyde (3.0 eq) and

Hantzsch ester (1.0 eq) in CH2Cl2 (0.3 M) at rt was added proline (5 mol%). The resulting

mixture was stirred for 24 h before being concentrated in vacuo. The crude reaction mixture

was then triturated with a mixture of EtOAc/Et2O (1/4). The resulting suspension was filtered,

washed with Et2O and dried in vacuo to afford the desired pure alkyl cyclopentadione.

Aa:1 According to the general procedure A, the reaction of 1,3-cyclopentanedione (200 mg,

2.0 mmol), benzaldehyde (620µL, 6.0 mmol), Hantzsch ester (517 mg, 2.0 mmol) and proline

(12 mg, 0.1 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (6.7 mL) provided Aa (310 mg, 81%) as a white powder.

crude was performed to afford the triketone. Otherwise, the next step was directly carried out.

To a stirred solution of triketone (1 eq) in toluene (0.1 M) at rt was added PTSA (10% mol).

The resulting mixture was refluxed for 2 h before being cooled to rt and quenched with

NaHCO3 (sat. aq.). The resulting mixture was diluted with EtOAc, the layers were separated

and the aqueous layer was back extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were

washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. Flash column chromatography

9h:7 According to the general procedure C, the reaction of the corresponding triketone (9.09

g, 46.4 mmol), PTSA (890 mg, 4.6 mmol) in toluene (460 mL) provided diketone 9h (8.26 g,

97%) as colorless oil (silica gel chromatography - cyclohexane: EtOAc, 60:40).

● General procedure for the synthesis of mesylates 1a-i:

To a stirred solution of diketone 9a-i (1 eq) in MeOH (0.1M) at -40oC was added

NaBH4 (0.5 eq). The resulting mixture was stirred for 1 h to -20 oC and subsequently

concentrated in vacuo. The crude was diluted with CH2Cl2 and treated with HCl (1N, aq. sol.).

The layers were separated and aqueous layer was re-extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined

organic layers were then washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo

leading to the corresponding alcohol as colorless oil which was used directly without further

purification.

To a stirred solution of the crude alcohol and Et3N (3 eq) in CH2Cl2 (0.1 M) at rt was added

methanesulfonyl chloride (1.5 eq). The resulting mixture was stirred for 30 min before it was

quenched with NaHCO3 (sat. aq.). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was re-

extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in

vacuo. Flash column chromatography (silica gel) of the crude afforded mesylate 1a-i.

1a: According to the general procedure, the reaction of diketone 9a (294 mg, 1.16 mmol),

NaBH4 (22 mg, 0.56 mmol) in MeOH (11.6 mL) provided the crude alcohol.

The reaction of the crude alcohol, Et3N (0.49 mL, 3.48 mmol) and MsCl (0.14 mL, 1.74

mmol) in CH2Cl2 (11.6 mL) provided mesylate 1a (360 mg, 93% over two steps) as a slightly

yellow amorphous powder (silica gel – CH2Cl2: EtOAc, 95:5). Rf = 0.35 (silica gel,
