Oxidative Nazarov reaction is a novel method that undergoes Nazarov electrocyclization and simultaneous oxidation, thus providing straightforward access to various cyclopentenone-containing natural products, such as laurane and guaiane sesquiterpenoids, from unfunctionalized divinyl tertiary carbinols (TDCs). More details are discussed in the article by Xu et al. on page 1267—1274.
