Journal ArticleDOI
Acetylide anions exert complete control over aldolization during the direct conversion of squarate esters into polyquinanes
TL;DR: The sequential condensation of diisopropyl squarate with a vinyl anion and a lithium acetylide triggers a cascade of mechanistic events that eventuates in formation of highly functionalized unsaturated diquinanes as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dicyclooctatetraeno[1,2:4,5]benzene dianion and tetraanion. Experimental assessment of extended paratropic vs. restricted diatropic .pi.-electron delocalization
Journal ArticleDOI
Addition of 2,3-dihydro-5-furanyllithium to diisopropyl squarate as a means for the rapid generation of structurally complex oxygen-containing tetraquinane networks
TL;DR: The ability of 2,3-dihydro-5-furanyllithium (11) to trigger a reaction cascade when added to diisopropyl squarate (6) has been examined in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, an enantioselective synthesis of (+)-grindelic acid is described, confirming that the dextrorotatory enantiomer is antipodal to the natural diterpenoid.
