New processes for the synthesis of biologically relevant heterocycles
Abstract:
This article describes the utility of certain readily accessible, ring-fused gem-dihalogenocyclopropanes as building blocks for the synthesis of heterocyclic and biologically active compounds.
Keywords
alkaloids; allylic cations; dihalogenocyclopropane; electrocyclic ring-opening; nucleophilic trapping; radical addition/elimination.
