Synthesis and photoreaction of tricyclo[5.2.2.02,6]undecanes in the excited singlet (1S) state: A novel and stereospecific route to protoilludanoids

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/a704817c

A novel and general approach to the synthesis of functionalised protoilludane skeletons having fused-four-, six- and five-membered rings is described. A photochemical sigmatropic 1,3-acyl shift in endotricyclo[5.2.2.0^2,6]undecanes having a β,γ-
