A new example is provided of completely diastereoselective polycyclization, affording the octahydrophenanthrene framework. Generation of an iron tricarbonyl stabilized pentadienyl carbocation is the triggering event of the cascade reaction. The carbocation is generated by anchimerically assisted regiospecific protonation of a double bond adjacent to the iron tricarbonyl diene moiety. Tetrafluoroboric acid ether complex appears to be the optimum reagent, affording good yields, even under catalytic conditions.

The present invention provides non-peptide organic compounds that have a structure analogous to or reminiscent of the TMOF structure and have pesticidal activity. Thus the present invention concerns pesticidal compounds that inhibit digestion in pests by terminating or otherwise blocking synthesis of digestive enzymes by activating a TMOF receptor (collectively referred to herein as “pesticidal compounds”). The pesticidal compounds and other compounds of the present invention are usefully employed in the control of pests, particularly insect pests such as mosquitoes, which ingest blood.
