Demystifying the dendralenes
Abstract:
We present herein an overview of our ongoing studies with dendralenes. The first synthetic routes to this fundamental family of compounds have revealed long-hidden secrets in hydrocarbon chemistry and set the scene for synthetic and materials chemistry applications.
Keywords
cycloadditions; dendralenes; domino reactions; hydrocarbons; organic synthesis; polycyclic compounds; polyenes.
