Abstract

A new protocol based on sequential applications of Claisen rearrangement, olefin isomerisation, ring-closing diene/ enyne metathesis and Diels–Alder reaction has been developed to access pyrano[3,2-a]carbazole and annulated derivatives thereof.

Key words

heterocycles - metathesis - rearrangement - Diels–Alder reaction - isomerisation
