Cyclopentane derivatives Q 0030 Convenient Synthesis of Angular Triquinane from 4-Alkenylfulvene via Thermal Cycloaddition Followed by Skeletal Rearrangement of the Resulting [4 + 2] Adduct. -Alkenylfulvalene (III), prepared by the annulation of phosphorane (II) with dione (I), undergoes intramolecular cycloaddition in a highly regio-and stereoselective manner. Hydrolysis of the enol-ether group gives adduct (IV). Subsequent treatment of (IV) with LHMDS/tBuOK affords the target triquinane derivative (V). -(INAGAKI, S.; IMURA, K.; MORITA, T.; YOSHIMI, Y.; HATANAKA*, M.; KAWANO, T.; Chem.

Alkenylfulvene prepared by the annulation of allylidenetriphenylphosphorane with 1,4-ynedione proceeded thermal cycloaddition in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner to give [4 + 2] adduct which was then converted into triquinane derivative by the treatment with LHMDS-t-BuOK after hydrolysis of the enol ether group.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
