Abstract

There has been in recent years increasing interest in the development of new methods leading to the construction of cyclopentane-containing condensed polycyclic systems. This interest is motivated by the continuing growth in the number of natural compounds, including some of biological interest, which have such a basic framework. 2 In this paper we describe a general approach to conjugated bicyclic enediones 1 which can further serve as ...
