title: Intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloadditions of fulvenes. Application to the kigelinol, neoamphilectane, and kempane skeletons.
abstract: A variety of polycyclic ring skeletons (e.g., kigelinol, neoamphilectane, and kempene systems) can be prepared rapidly via intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloadditions (IMDA) of fulvenes. The length of the tethers and the diversity of the substituents on the fulvene core dictate the nature of the IMDA pathway. [reaction: see text]
