Chemoselective 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Reactions of Rhodium(II)-Generated Isomünchnones with 1,4-Quinones: Synthesis of Novel Azapolycycles []

Abstract

The formation of the hybrid skeletons of oxoprotoberberines and quinonoid natural products is achieved by the cycloaddition of isomünchnones with 1,4-quinones, followed by BF₃˙OEt₂-catalyzed transformation of the adducts.

Key words

hybrid compounds - oxoprotoberberines - isomünchnones - 1,4-quinones - cycloaddition
