Abstract

Abstract: Enhancing synthetic efficiency requires the development of synthetic reactions that, to the extent possible, are simple additions wherein everything else is required only in catalytic amounts. The Alder ene reaction constitutes a classical reaction that meets this requirement that has much unrealized potential. A transition-metal-catalyzed version helps to increase that potential by permitting this reaction to proceed under mild conditions. A ...
