摘要

An easy, efficient and concise approach to tetrahydrofluorene [6,5,6]ABC tricyclic core embedded new polycycles has been achieved under relatively mild and catalytic Nazarov type electrocyclization conditions, using 2 mol% of Sc(OTf)(3) in anhydrous DCM (dichloromethane) at room temperature, with high yields. The generality of the reaction has been illustrated by synthesizing diverse polycycles embedded with rare heterotricyclic [6,5,5]ABC skeletons.
