Conia-ene annulation of the α-cyano β-TMS-capped alkynyl cycloalkanone system and its synthetic application†
Abstract
Under catalysis with ZnI2, an effective annulation process of ω-silylacetylenic α-cyano ketones, leading to the formation of various bicyclic frameworks characterized with a TMS-containing methylenecyclopentane ring, has been developed.
