1483-1494A new methodology for the synthesis para-cyclophanes and longithorone C frameworks has been demonstrated via alkylation, ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) oxidation and ring-closing metathesis as key steps. </span

Diversity-Oriented Approach to Cyclophanes via Fischer Indolization and Ring-Closing Metathesis: Substrate-Controlled Stereochemical Outcome in RCM

Here, we report a new and diversity-oriented approach to macrocyclic cyclophanes by a Grignard reaction, followed by Fischer indolization and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) as key steps. The configuration of the double bond formed during the RCM depends upon the order of synthetic sequence used. Fischer indolization followed by RCM delivers the cis isomer, whereas RCM followed by Fischer indolization gives the trans isomer

Two directional approach to spirocycles containing bicyclo[2.2.2]octane system <em>via</em> a [2+2+2] co-trimerization and Diels-Alder reaction

1231-1236A simple and atom economic/step economic route for the synthesis of bis-armed spirocycles including bis-armed spirosulfone derivative containing bicyclo[2.2.2]octane ring system by utilizing a MW assisted Mo(CO)6 catalyzed two-directional [2+2+2] co-trimerization and the [4+2] cycloaddition reaction as key steps, is reported
