Abstract

An intramolecular Cannizzaro-type hydride transfer to an in situ prepared allene enables the synthesis of orthofused 4-substituted cycloocta-2,5-dien-1-ones with unprecedented technical ease for an eight-ring carboannulation. Various derivatives could be obtained from commercially available (hetero)aryl aldehydes, trimethylsilylacetylene, and simple propargyl chlorides in good yields.
