Formation of Angularly-Fused Triquinanes by Successive Use of the Pauson-Khand Reaction and Radical Closure

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00085a032

Angularly-fused triquinanes (see Table 1) are accessible by sequential use of the Pauson-Khand reaction and radical cyclization.The Pauson-Khand step works in the presence of homolyzable bonds, such as C-Br and C-SePh.The method seems best suited to the p
