Significance

This is the first example of an enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a cyclic formyl carbonyl ylide. This methodology was successfully applied to the synthesis of endo-6-aryl-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-en-2-one, which was isolated from Ligusticum chuanxing Hort., a traditional Chinese medicine used to promote blood circulation.
