Abstract
The D3-trishomocubane is a unique high symmetrical chiral stabilomeric compound. Its derivatives have great potential to be used as scaffolds for drugs, in structure-oriented design, asymmetric catalysis, light-driven systems and much more. Axial substitution is the most useful method for this purpose but the least studied. This paper critically analyzes various synthetic strategies aiming at introducing substituents into C2/C9 positions of D3-trishomocubane. Herein we cover formation of trishomocubane skeleton and rearrangement of Cs-trishomocubanes. Based on a comprehensive retrosynthetic analysis a general synthetic scheme is proposed.
Keywords: Cs-trishomocubane, D3-trishomocubane, tertiary derivatives, axial derivatives, retrosynthetic analysis, cyclopentadienes, quinones

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
