Abstract

A new hydrofunctionalization/bicyclization of C(sp3)-tethered 1,7-enynes toward benzo[a]fluoren-5-ones with good to excellent yields has been developed by using Iron(III)/PhSiH3 system as a hydride donor. This protocol involves a reductive 1,7-enyne-carboannulation cascade, leading to C(sp3)[sbnd]H and C[sbnd]C bond-forming events to rapidly build up tetracarbocyclic complexity. A wide range of functional groups relative to 1,7-enyne substrates were tolerated well under mild neutral-redox conditions.
