[reaction: see text] We describe a new approach to 2,3-disubstituted cyclopentenols and cyclopentenones through two consecutive regioselective additions of equal or different electrophiles to a cyclopentene bisanionic synthon. Indeed, on exposure to BuLi, 3-bromo-2-iodocyclopent-2-enol O-TBS ether undergoes iodine-lithium permutation with
