Diels-Alder Chemistry Of Siloles And Their Transformation Into Cyclohex-2-Ene-1,4-Cis-Diols., Andrew C Stevens, Brian L Pagenkopf

Chemistry Publications

The synthesis of siloles with substitution patterns that are continuative toward natural product synthesis are described. Their reactivity in Diels-Alder chemistry was explored through thermal, Lewis acid, and high-pressure reactions. Furthermore, bicyclic adducts were oxidatively cleaved to reveal a highly functionalized cyclohexene core.
