Abstract

An operationally simple and highly atom-economic anionic quadruple domino reaction sequence for the synthesis of hexacyclic indeno-fused naphthalene/quinoline molecules having structural resemblance with the C-nor-D-homo-steroid nucleus has been developed. Promoter and solvent specificity, regioselectivity and mechanistic details were experimentally established. Catalyst concentration and solvent dependent switching of domino steps creating four new C–C bonds are discussed.
