Bis(cycloalkenyl) ketones 2a and 2f underwent Nazarov cyclization and intermolecular trapping by electrophilic aromatic substitution with furans, thiophenes, pyrroles, indoles and dimethoxybenzene.Only the cis-anti-cis diastereomer was isolated with dicyclopentenyl ketone 2a, whereas a mixture of diastereomers was seen with 2f (albeit with complete regioselectivity). Comparable interrupted Nazarov trapping was not seen with acyclic dienones2b-e, indicating the possible involvement of conformation effects in the polycyclic intermediates derived from 2a and 2f.
