A synthetic pathway to diquinane and angular triquinane systems via an iron carbonyl promoted tandem [6+2] ene type reaction

A model study is described on a new approach to the synthesis of diquinane and angular triquinane systems, via iron-promoted tandem [6+2] ene-type double cyclization followed by ozonolysis and intramolecular aldol reaction.
