Abstract
The anionic consecutive carbon-carbon (CC-C) bond formation can be achieved by the anionic cyclizations of N-(trans-2,3-diphenylaziridin-1-yl)imines with alkyllithiums. The synthetic efficiency of CC-C bond-formation approach has been demonstrated in the synthesis of dl-pentalenene and dl-cedrone.
Key words
anionic cyclization - N-aziridinylimine - sesquiterpene - dl-pentalenene - dl-cedrone
