Reaction optimization studies identified room temperature as well as microwave-mediated procedures, providing moderate to good yields (57-88%) in the thiophenol-mediated epoxide opening and intramolecular aldol reaction. In addition, the isolation of a key intermediate and in situ NMR studies supported the mechanistic hypothesis. The bicyclic ring products occupy novel chemical space according to ChemGPS and Chemaxon chemical diversity and cheminformatics analyses. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. date: 2010-07-31 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: text/plain language: en rights: attached identifier: http://d-scholarship-dev.library.pitt.edu/22231/1/licence.txt identifier: Hammill, JT and Contreras-García, J and Virshup, AM and Beratan, DN and Yang, W and Wipf, P (2010) Synthesis and chemical diversity analysis of bicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-en-2-ones.
