| Cyclopentadienones are very reactive and often undergo dimerization very rapidly. They can be generated from 4-bromocyclopentenone or 2-bromocyclopentenone precursors in the presence of bases. We were curious as to whether we could control the generation of cyclopentadienones such that intramolecular dimerization might be possible. Our preliminary studies have shown that such dimerizations are feasible. This report will detail the generation of tetracyclic compounds from intramolecular cyclopentadienone dimerization.
