Cyclopentanoid allysilanes in synthesis: Generation via intramolecular ene reaction of activated 1,6-dienes and application to the synthesis of functionalized diquinanes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)97422-7

A new general route to cis-1,2-disubstituted cyclopentanoid allylsilanes useful in di-and triquinane synthesis is described based on intramolecular ene reaction of activated 1,6-dienes featuring a homoallylsilane unit as the ene donor.
