Abstract

The stereocontrolled synthesis of complex spirotricyclic systems containing an embedded syn-1,2-diaminocyclohexane unit is reported, based upon a dearomatising oxidation of phenols bearing pendant ureas capable of acting as double nucleophiles. This complexity-generating transformation yields products with rich functionality suitable for application in the synthesis of potentially bioactive compounds.
