🔥 New and HOT in Chemical Science!

“Silver- and gold-catalyzed divergent cascade cycloisomerization/[3 + 2] versus [2 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition towards a stereoselective access to heterohexacyclic derivatives” by Véronique Michelet et al.

Read it for free: doi.org/10.1039/D5SC...

Reaction scheme showing silver and gold-catalyzed synthesis of two heterohexacyclic products containing a bicyclo[3.2.1]octane unit. The text reads: Divergent synthesis in HFIP. Design of selective conditions. Formation of C-C, C-N and C-O bonds leading to hexacyclic derivatives. Formation of 3 stereogenic centers and 3 cycles in one step. 25 novel and complex derivatives, up to 98% yield.
