title: Nucleophilic partners in the tandem conjugate addition-Dieckmann condensation reaction: 1. synthesis of 1,2,3-trisubstituted naphthalenes.
abstract: The scope and limitations of the tandem conjugate addition-Dieckmann condensation for the construction of 1,2,3-trisubstituted naphthalenes is defined. Viable nucleophilic partners in this methodology include organocuprates, active methylenes, and a variety of heteroatom initiators.
