Use of the transannular DielsAlder (TADA) reaction to probe biological receptors: Rational design and synthesis of tricyclic TADA adducts capable of rigidly holding pharmacophore parts
Use of the transannular DielsAlder (TADA) reaction to probe biological receptors: Rational design and synthesis of tricyclic TADA adducts capable of rigidly holding pharmacophore parts
A procedure is described for the stereospecific synthesis of 13-membered trienic macrocycles from suitable acyclic bis-allylic chlorides via an intramolecular gem-dialkylation of malononitrile or methyl cyanoacetate. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
