Abstract

Barium hydride promoted regioselective dimerization and cross-coupling reactions of 2-cycloalken-1-ones were achieved in the presence of HMPA or DMPU as a Lewis base. The cross-coupling reaction between 2-cyclopenten-1-one and chalcone derivatives followed by intramolecular cyclization provides bicyclic 1,5-diketones, which have a norbornane skeleton, regio- and stereo­specifically in moderate to high yields.
