Abstract: The first enantioselective synthesis of (−)-isonitrin B (2), the parent of a small family of isonitrile antibiotics having compact but highly functionalized (and highly reactive) cyclopentane rings, is described. They key in this synthesis is the cyclization of 5b to 4b, by way of the intermediate alkylidene carbene.
