Isomerization of CF(3)-containing secondary propargylic alcohols proceeds with excellent E selectivity by treatment with Mitsunobu reagents, tris(p-methoxyphenyl)phosphine (TMPP), and 1,1'-(azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine (ADDP) in the presence of phenol.
The boron aldol reaction of beta-substituted glutaric imides bearing an oxazolidinone-based auxiliary proceeds with excellent diastereoselectivity; switching the tertiary amine employed between i-Pr(2)EtN or Et(3)N affords enantiomeric lactone product.
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.
