Abstract

Abstract An operationally simple and highly atom-economic anionic quadruple domino reaction sequence for the synthesis of hexacyclic indeno-fused naphthalene/quinoline molecules having structural resemblance with the C-nor-D-homo-steroid nucleus has been developed. Promoter and solvent specificity, regioselectivity and mechanistic details were experimentally established. Catalyst concentration and solvent dependent switching of ...
