Abstract:The conjugate allylation of a homologous series of a,bunsaturated cyclic esters 8-10 by addition of diallylcuprate (method A), fluoride ion catalyzed addition of trimethylallylsilane (method B), and aluminium tris(2,6-diphenylphenoxide) (ATPH)-mediated addition of allyllithium (method C) was investigated. Method A was not selective in all cases. For methods B and C an influence of ester moiety and ring size on the regioselectivity was observed. Methyl cyclopentenoate 8c gave mainly the 1,2/1,2-product regardle… Show more
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.
