A convenient two step protocol for the synthesis of cyclopentenones and indanones, including an asymmetric variant.
A one-pot palladium mediated hydrostannylation/cross-coupling protocol is used to give direct access to cross-conjugated dienones that can be utilized in Nazarov cyclizations to afford highly substituted cyclopentenones and indanones, including an asymmetric variant.
