Abstract

The 1,5-nucleophilic intramolecular O-heterocyclization of ψ-exo-/ψ-endo-(η4-dienyl)tricarbonyliron diols occurs under acid catalysis with a 1,2-migration of the complexation site. This cyclization proved to be stereoselective and provided a synthetically useful entry to novel conformationally locked alkylphosphocholines as potential anticancer agents.
