Ag-carbenoid-initiated catalytic hydration cascades: rapid construction of functionalized bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes.
Remarkable Ag-carbenoid-initiated enone cyclopropanation-hydrolytic fragmentation-competitive 1,2-vs-1,4 addition reaction cascades were uncovered on a range of propargylic esters tethered to cyclohexadienones, leading to the highly efficient and stereospecific construction of densely functionalized bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes under mild conditions.
