Lamellarins are natural products isolated from marine invertebrates having a unique
heterocyclic ring system. Many of these natural products exhibit potentially useful biological …

Although there are many reagent combinations that can initiate polyene cyclizations, simple
electrophilic halogen sources have not yet proven broadly effective as promoters of such …

A chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed enantioselective bromocyclization of olefins is described.

The hydride transfer initiated cyclization (“HT-cyclization”) of aryl alkyl ethers, which leads to
direct coupling of sp3 C− H bonds and activated alkenes, is reported. Readily available …

A strategy involving palladium-catalysed aromatic C–H functionalisation/intramolecular
alkenylation provides a convenient and direct synthesis of 3-alkylideneoxindoles. In the …

Chroman-2-one (1), also referred to as dihydrocoumarin, and its derivatives have attracted
the attention of chemists due to their broad range of properties. Dihydrocoumarin contains a …
