Abstract:
Novel 7-oxabicyclo2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-yl derivatives have been synthesized using boron trifluoride diethyl etherate catalyzed Diels–Alder reaction. This method presents considerable synthetic advantages in terms of high atom economy, mild reaction condition and good yields. The synthesized compounds have been screened for their antibacterial and antioxidant activities.
