Abstract

1,3-Dienes are important structural motifs in organic chemistry, as they provide highly suitable platforms for further synthetic elaborations. These valuable synthetic precursors can be readily transformed into a diverse array of functional groups such as carbacycles and heterocycles,(1-3) peroxides,(4) mono-(5) and biscyclopropanes,(6) and β-lactams(7) (Figure 1). Given their broad applicability, it is then not surprising that dienes are valuable ...
