Organocatalytic synthesis of Pentafulvene derivatives and kinetic analysis of copper catalyzed 1,4-addition

Chapter 1 discloses a novel organocatalytic method for the synthesis of pentafulvenes bearing chiral pendant groups. Despite the widespread utility of pentafulvenes, synthetic methods towards them have not developed significantly since their initial discovery in 1900. More specifically, syntheses of...
