Abstract

Manganese (III)-mediated oxidative transformations of dearomatized phloroglucinol (1, 3, 5- trihydroxybenzene) derivatives are reported. A number of cyclization modes have been observed, including polycyclization to afford bicyclo [2.2. 2] octadiones via a formal oxidative radical [4+ 2] cycloaddition.
