An exploration of the potential of [4+2] cycloadditions of α-pyrones with indenones for the synthesis of the norditerpenoid tropone, harringtonolide

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The Diels-Alder reactions of 5-methoxyindenones with various α-pyrones provide the basis for a new and more efficient approach to the synthesis of the unusual nor-diterpenoid tropone, harringtonolide.
