Molecular complexity from aromatics: synthesis and photoreaction of endo-tricyclo[5.2.2.0(2,6)]undecane--a stereoselective route to tricyclic framework of protoilludanes.
A stereoselective route towards protoilludanoids from simple aromatic precursor is described. The methodology involves in situ generation of spiroepoxycyclohexadienone and cycloaddition with cyclopentadiene and photochemical 1,3-acyl shift.
