Organoaluminum‐mediated double interrupted Nazarov cyclization to access bicyclo [3.1. 0]
hexanols via nucleophilic methyl attack followed by Simmons–Smith‐type electrophilic …

Five-membered carbocycles are highly prevalent motifs in natural products and
pharmaceutical drugs. Finding routes towards these moieties has been an attractive area of …

A novel organocatalytic asymmetric tandem Nazarov cyclization/semipinacol rearrangement
reaction using “unactivated” substrates has been developed, generating a series of chiral …

The Nazarov cyclization, a well-known method for the formation of cyclopentenones,
mechanistically involves the 4π electrocyclization of a 1, 4-pentadienyl cation, generated …

A cascade ring opening of 3-ethoxy cyclobutanones followed by a double cyclization
strategy has been developed via Brønsted acid catalysis. A range of 2, 8-dioxabicyclo [3.3 …

The Nazarov cyclization has been established as a powerful tool in constructing
cyclopentenone skeletons. In sharp contrast, oxa-Nazarov cyclization that affords …

The fused bicyclic skeleton is an important subunit in many natural products,
pharmaceuticals, and organic building blocks in organic synthesis (some examples are …

The generation of dibrominated cyclopentenones via an interrupted Nazarov cyclization is
reported. The installation of two bromine atoms occurs at the α and α′ positions of the …

We report an unprecedented domino polycyclization from readily available 2, 4‐dienals and
cyclic α, β‐unsaturated imines that is initiated by an iso‐Nazarov reaction. This Brønsted …

Trimethylaluminum and molecular oxygen are used in tandem to interrupt the Nazarov
cyclization. α-Hydroxycyclopentanones are produced in moderate to good yield as a mixture …
