Abstract

Avenues to bi-and tricyclic building blocks for the elaboration of sordaricin and its analogues are described. The target molecules were obtained through inter-and intramolecular Diels− Alder reactions of a number of previously unknown cyclopentadienes. Unusual properties of 3-cyanoenones and 1-cyanocyclopentadienes have been unveiled and circumvented.
