Cyclohexanone-derived Knoevenagel adducts (cyclohexylidenemalononitriles) and two different propargyl electrophiles serve as carbon sources for assembling diverse 6/7/5 tricycloalkanes, a common terpenoid framework. The sequence involves three unique reac

The thermal [3,3] rearrangement of 3,3-dicyano-1,5-enynes to γ-allenyl alkylidenemalononitriles (the "enyne Cope rearrangement") has largely eluded synthetic value as the desired products, too, are thermally reactive and ultimately yield 6π electrocycliza
