It's all about reactivity: Although bromonium-induced cation-π cyclizations are commonly utilized by nature to fashion six-membered rings from a diverse set of polyene precursors, no general laboratory method exists that can achieve the same breadth of substrate scope. An easily synthesized and handled reagent is described (see scheme) that is capable of directly, broadly, and rapidly effecting such reactions in good yield with a variety of geraniol, farnesol, and nerol derivatives.
