Synthetic routes leading to [6,6,6]‐tricyclic compounds were reported using metal catalysts from ene‐yne‐aldehydes in our group. Based on this result, the synthesis of various [6,6,6]‐tricyclic compounds is reported using transition metal‐catalyzed cyclization from enyne‐carbonyl substrates containing H, Me, Ph, OMe, CO2Me, and CO2i‐Pr groups. Tricyclic compounds containing the CO2Me group would be the prospective precursors of the natural product Lepenine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
