title: Diastereoselective Pt catalyzed cycloisomerization of polyenes to polycycles.
abstract: Application of a tridentate NHC containing pincer ligand to Pt catalyzed cascade cyclization reactions has allowed for the catalytic, diastereoselective cycloisomerization of biogenic alkene terminated substrates to the their polycyclic counterparts.
