The reaction of phenols having a methylene-tethered chiral allenylsilane at the para position with hypervalent iodine underwent chirality-transferring oxidative intramolecular cyclization accompanied by the dearomatization of phenol to give spiro[4.5]decadienones with silylethynyl group stereoselectively.
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.
