ABSTRACT Recently, much efforts have been made to develop efficient preparations and reactions of relatively simple cyclopentanes (or -enes) in connection with cyclopentanoids synthesis. Among them, cyclopentadiene monoepoxide and 4-cyclopentadiene-1,3-diol derivatives have been studied well. In this review, applicability and efficiency of reactions with the epoxide and the diol derivatives are presented as well as their preparations.
