Abstract
Spectacular new atom efficient domino cycloaddition sequences involving [4]dendralene, the simplest cross-conjugated tetraene, are reported. Up to eight stereocenters, three new rings, and six C-C bonds are generated in one synthetic operation. The site selectivity of dienophile addition to cross-conjugated trienes and tetraenes is controlled with a simple Lewis acid.
