- substituents with different electronic properties (Scheme 2). Interestingly, we found that oxidative cyclization can occur from both double bond isomers. In addition, a reductive cyclization was discovered in bis(benzonitrile)-substituted DTEs and also in a DTE with an extended π-system. Results and Discussion
- radical cations [34][35] and simple dithienylethenes [36][37][38]. As such, we postulate an equilibrium between both E- and Z-radical cations with the latter rapidly reacting to the closed isomer. To gain a deeper mechanistic understanding of the oxidative cyclization, the evolution of the UV–vis

- rhodium first undergoes oxidative cyclization with the vinylcyclopropane prior to alkyne insertion. The asymmetric enyne cycloisomerization reaction has been shown to be instrumental in the construction of medicinal chemistry targets. For example, the Fürstner group realized that gold catalysis would be

- xeniaethers. An alternative biosynthetic pathway proposed by Schmitz and van der Helm involves the direct formation of the nine-membered carbocyclic ring via oxidative cyclization of geranyllinalool (34) [2], which is formed from GGPP (28) by enzymatic hydrolysis of the pyrophosphate unit and allylic
