A remarkable cycloaddition of bis(arylsulfonyl)iodonium ylide with norbornene derivatives for the direct synthesis of functionalized indanes

摘要

The reaction of bis(arylsulfonyl)iodonium ylides with a variety of norbornene derivatives 3 affords functionalized indanes 4 in good yields through an unusual cycloaddition. This diastereoselective cycloaddition provides a convenient preparative route to multicyclic structures of well defined stereochemical configuration. [References: 19]
