M. Sander et Ev. Dehmlow, Synthesis of a substituted bi[cyclohepta-3,5(3 ',5 ')-dienyl]: A possible building block for domino Diels-Alder reactions, EUR J ORG C, (2), 2001, pp. 399-404
A versatile 13-step synthesis of 1,1'-dimethoxy-4,4',5,5' tetrakis(trimethy
lsilyloxy)bicyclohepta-3,3',5,5'-dienyl (11) is described. 11 represents a
potential building block for the construction of polycyclic cage compounds
through domino Diels-Alder and pincer reactions.
