The cyclization of a number of functionalized polyenes with mercuric triflate-N,N-dimethylaniline complex (Nishizawa's reagent) to give bicyclic or tricyclic products has been studied. Suitably positioneal internal nucleophiles, such as carbonyl, hydroxy and β-ketoester groups were found to participate to varying extent, in the termination of these cyclizations.
