Org. Chem. UR - https://doi.org/10.3762/bjoc.14.237 KW - alkaloid KW - Danheiser annulation KW - decahydroquinoline N2 - A straightforward synthetic entry to functionalized hydrindane compounds based on a rapid assembly of the core nucleus by a Danheiser cycloaddition is reported. Valuable bicyclic building blocks containing the fused five and six-membered carbocyclic ring system can be achieved in only four steps from a simple acyclic β-keto ester. ER -
