Abstract

Spirocyclic compounds are attractive targets in organic synthesis because of their broad distribution in biologically active natural products and pharmaceuticals,[1] as well as their increasing use in a range of important chemical and technological processes, such as asymmetric synthesis and organic optoelectronics.[2] On this basis the development of novel methods for the construction of spirocyclic frameworks is of considerable importance, ...
