Abstract

A benzannulation sequence featuring [6π+ 4π] cycloaddition of (η6-thiepin 1, 1-dioxide) tricarbonylchromium (0) complexes with highly substituted dienes followed by Ramberg- Bäcklund rearrangement has been developed. Enantiomerically pure (+)-estradiol (estra-1, 3, 5 (10)-triene-3, 17β-diol) has been synthesized by employing a higher-order cycloaddition between an appropriately substituted thiepin dioxide chromium (0) complex and a diene ...
