Abstract

The formation of new carbon–carbon bonds by carbocyclizations has been an attractive area of research and proven to be a useful tool for the synthesis of carbocyclic molecules. 1, 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d and 1e The medicinal importance of molecules possessing indane 2, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e and 2f and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene moieties 3, 3a, 3b and 3c is well documented. Strigolactones are a group of sesquiterpene lactones and their synthetic ...
