Lewis Acid Catalyzed Inverse-Electron-Demand Diels-Alder Reaction of Tropones

摘要

Tropone and related compounds in the troponoid family were initially well-known for having nonbenzenoid aromaticity. Since the pioneering work of Tetsuo Nozoe in the 1930s, interest on such a theoretical aspect has stimulated extensive studies of the synthesis, structure, and reactivity of troponoids, which has continued until the present time.
