Abstract

A highly stereoselective synthesis of a spiro-cineole scaffold that contains four stereogenic centers from readily accessible 2-alkynylbenzaldehydes and styrenes under very mild reaction conditions was reported. This cascade reaction involves a Ag(I)-catalyzed alkyne cycloisomerization and oxa-[4 + 2]-cycloaddition to give an oxonium intermediate which subsequently undergoes a previously unexplored 1,2-alkyl migration to access highly strained spiro-2-oxabicyclo[2.2.2]octanes in high yields with excellent stereoselectivities.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
