Synthesis of new pentacyclic chromophores through a highly regio- and diastereoselective cascade process

Org Biomol Chem. 2010 Nov 7;8(21):4815-8. doi: 10.1039/c0ob00390e. Epub 2010 Sep 16.

Abstract

A new family of pentacyclic compounds incorporating a central 1,2-dihydropyridine core is obtained through a pseudo three-component reaction. Four new bonds and two stereocenters with trans relationship are produced during the cascade process under palladium catalysis.
