Cyclopentanoid allysilanes in synthesis: Generation via intramolecular ene reaction of activated 1,6-dienes and application to the synthesis of functionalized diquinanes
A new general route to -1,2-disubstituted cyclopentanoid allylsilanes useful in di-and triquinane synthesis is described based on intramolecular enereaction of activated 1,6-dienes featuring a homoallylsilane unit as the ene donor.
