Abstract

0 OH thracyclines involving the benzannulation reaction of chromium carbene complexes and acetylenes. This novel and intriguing reaction was first reported by Dotz, 6 and recently we have examined the scope of the reactions of a $-unsaturated complexes such as la. 7 The particular approach utilizing this benzannulation that is indicated in Scheme I has the potential to solve the three major synthetic problems associated with this family of natural ...
