The application of JV-lithioethylenediamine previously examined by Reggel, Friedman, and Wender has been extended and its reactions towards several mono-and sesquiterpenoids with or without oxygen functions studied. Some of these underwent facile dehydrogenation, some were isomerized to conjugated products and the rest remained unchanged.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
