Abstract

To circumvent the problems of decomposition or polymerization of the end products, various efforts were made to achieve the rDA reaction at lower temperature. 7 Limited reports are available regarding the factors governing the rDA reaction, and hence this poses severe restrictions in designing a simple strategy for the rDA reaction. Studies by Magnus et al. on [2.2.1]-bicyclic DA adducts have revealed that substituents such as –SiMe 3 (TMS) at the C 7 position are ...
