Highly diastereoselective synthesis of tricyclic fused-pyrans was achieved by Brønsted acid catalyzed double C(sp3)–H bond functionalization.
Expeditious synthesis of 3-indolyl-1-trifluoromethyl-isobenzofurans via [1,4]-hydride shift/cyclization/intermolecular nucleophilic addition reaction sequence.
A one-pot, three-component, synthesis of saturated carbazoles and related pyridazino[3,4-b]indoles is described, involving an intermolecular Diels–Alder/intermolecular ene reaction sequence with relative stereocontrol of up to four stereocentres.
