As a part of our synthetic study towards such natural products, we wish to disclose a new synthetic protocol towards tricyclo[3.2.1.0 2,7 ]octane-6-one derivatives 10, formed as a result of domino Michael–Michael-substitution reaction involving the kinetically derived enolate 2 of cyclohexenone 1 with vinylselenoxide 3 in a single pot operation (Scheme 1). ... If proton transfer from the anion 4 to 5 is suppressed, we expected that successive intramolecular Michael reaction of ...
