Biomimetic Tandem Cyclization Catalyzed by Hg(OTf)₂ Affording ­Polycarbocycles

Abstract

Efficient biomimetic tandem cyclization catalyzed by Hg(OTf)₂ was achieved to give tricyclic 4 and tetractyclic 6 in high catalytic turnover. Structures of cyclization products were confirmed by X-ray diffraction study.

The measurements were carried out on Mac Science (Bruker Nonius) dip image plate diffractometer using graphite-monochromated MoK_α radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å). The crystal structure was solved by the direct method with SIR-97. Refinement was performed by a full matrix least squares refinement on F² with SHELXL-97.
