title: Rapid synthesis of medium-ring fused polycarbocyclic systems by rearrangement of carbenoid-derived oxonium ylides.
abstract: Tandem carbenoid generation, ylide formation and [2,3]-rearrangement is a powerful method for the construction of bicyclic and linearly fused tricyclic systems containing a seven-membered ring.
