Abstract
Herein, we report an efficient synthetic strategy for an Fe(II)-catalyzed site-selective ring opening of bicyclo[n.1.0]alkanols and their concomitant 1,6-conjugate addition to p-quinone methides. The selectivity induced is tuned exclusively by the substrate, thereby forming carbocycles of distinct sizes. Diverse synthetic transformations further enhance the utility of the protocol.
