title: Cascading pericyclic reactions: building complex carbon frameworks for natural product synthesis.
abstract: Tandem reactions have emerged as powerful strategies to synthesize complex structures, in particular, processes involving pericyclic reactions. This article describes recent advancement by our group in the development of novel tandem pericyclic reactions aimed at constructing diterpene frameworks.
