Abstract

A novel uncatalyzed reaction between TpMo (CO) 2 (5-trifluoroacetoxy-η3-5, 6- dihydropyranyl/dihydropyridinyl) complexes and electron-rich arenes/olefins is reported. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions so that a variety of functional groups are tolerated. Combined with a stereospecific annulative demetalation, the new reaction provides a rapid access to polycyclic alkaloid structures. The sequential protocol was ...
