Generating Skeletal Diversity and Complexity from Boron‐Substituted 1,3‐Dienes and Enophiles

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Boron‐substituted 1,3‐dienes participate in ene reactions to afford new functionalized synthetic intermediates. After evaluating several enophiles as partners, the resulting products have been engaged in multistep sequences involving first a Diels Alder/allylboration process. A variety of skeletally diverse and complex polycyclic heterocycles were thus synthesized, such as tetrahydro‐1 H ‐isoindole‐1,3( 2H )‐diones, eight‐membered lactones or tricyclic spiro compounds.
