It′s just a phase: The title reaction sequence of para‐quinone methides (p‐QMs) has been developed with malonates under phase‐transfer catalysis. The reaction also offers an alternative route to asymmetric construction of diarylmethine stereocenters in excellent enantioselectivities and high yields.
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.
