RT Journal Article T1 Photochemically driven tandem process in the construction of a biscyclopropylcage from 2,5-dimethoxy-p-benzoquinone and terminal acetylenes A1 Alvarez Garcia, Jonathan A1 Rubio Pisabarro, Víctor A1 Silva López, Carlos A1 Cid Fernández, María Magdalena K1 2306.15 Mecanismos de Reacción AB A photochemical two-step one-pot synthesis of novel biscyclopropyl-box-shaped compounds via the reaction of 2,5-dimethoxy-para-benzoquinone and monosubstituted alkynes is reported. The reaction mechanism for a process in which six new C–C bonds are formed is explored by means of experimental and computational techniques. The whole process occurs with complete selectivity, and only one densely decorated diastereomer is obtained; such a degree of control and substitution makes for a rather powerful and complexity-building process.
