Taxol (paclitaxel), the most well-known taxane diterpenoid, is the best-selling natural-source
anticancer drug ever produced and one of the most common prescriptions in the treatment of …

Recent progress in the synthesis of benzene and 1, 3‐cyclohexadiene derivatives, and
heterocyclic compounds such as pyridines, pyridones, pyrans, pyrimidine diones, etc, has …

Abstract The [2+ 2+ 2] cycloaddition strategy is complementary to the well known Diels–
Alder reaction for the generation of polycyclic compounds. This [2+ 2+ 2] approach is atom …

Organic transformations catalyzed by cyclopentadienyl complexes of Group 9 metals (cobalt,
rhodium and iridium) are the key steps of the total synthesis of various natural products …

Due to the thermodynamic stability associated with the aromatic system and the kinetic
reactivity of the strained cyclobutene ring, the cyclobutarenes represent a unique class of …

The cyclotrimerization of acetylenic compounds is a useful method for the construction of
three new bonds in a one-step process. Although symmetry-allowed, there is a paucity of …

Recent progress in cobalt-mediated [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions - Chemical
Communications (RSC Publishing) DOI:10.1039/B517696B Royal Society of Chemistry View …

The recent developments in cobalt catalysis are compiled in this review covering the years
2000 through 2007. Special focus is directed towards cobalt-catalysed ring-formation …

In the present work, we demonstrate a regioselective [2+ 2+ 2] cyclotrimerization of 1, 3-
diynes catalyzed by Ni0 to provide hexasubstituted benzenes (HSBs). HSBs have significant …

Mçbius aromaticity, predicted by Edgar Heilbronner in 1964, is a stabilizing effect exhibited
by 4n electron fully conjugated cyclic molecules (or transition states) with an odd number of …
