Electrochemical Synthesis of Spirodienones with Sequential Ring Expansion to Fused 6–7–6 Tricycles

Abstract An intramolecular electro-oxidative spirocyclization of tethered arenes is developed to access spirodienones under metal- and chemical-oxidant-free conditions. This method exhibits good functional group tolerance, allowing a broad spectrum of substrates with yields of up...
