A tentative mechanism for a new dihalocyclopropane-dihalomethyl vinyl rearrangement is discussed following some isotopic labelling and substituted cyclohexene studies on fused cyclohexene-cyclopropane (norcarane) compounds.
The N‐substituted exo‐2‐oxazolidinone dienes are versatile molecules that undergo a variety of reactions. To further explore this versatility, Diels‐Alder reactions were carried out with novel naphthalene chalcones. Upon attempting the Diels‐Alder reaction with 2‐hydroxy‐1,4‐naphthoquinone, the formation of chromene unexpectedly took place via a formal [3+3] cycloaddition reaction. The observed reaction was then achieved with other 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds.
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.
