Abstract:The selective functionalization of saturated oxygen heterocycles at positions remote to the embedded heteroatoms remains an outstanding challenge in organic synthesis. Although many methods exist for the undirected replacement of C–H bonds with heteroatomic subunits the number of site selective C–H functionalization reactions for the introduction of carbon-carbon bonds pales in comparison. This paper describes the initial stages of a long-term program aimed at elucidating how organolithium reagents can be re-e… Show more
