We describe new easy synthesis of functionalized di and tricyclic cyclopentane containing derivatives. The stereochemistries of the ring junction are well defined. The starting material tricyclic methylene cyclobutanols are easily obtained on large scale from inexpensive substrates.

Methylene cyclobutanols resulting from one step elimination-additions were transformed into new prostanoid-like derivatives with potential biological activity.
