Indium‐Mediated Allenylation of Aldehydes and Its Application in Carbohydrate Chemistry: Efficient Synthesis of D‐Ribulose and 1‐Deoxy‐D‐ribulose (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 9/2011)
Abstract:The cover picture shows the application of an indium‐mediated allenylation reaction of aldehydes using 4‐bromo‐2‐butyn‐1‐ols to generate α‐hydroxyacetyl anion equivalents. This carbon chain elongation method allows the straightforward synthesis of various substituted dihydroxyacetone fragments, as well as pentuloses and derivatives thereof. Details are discussed in the article by W. Schmid et al. on p. 1645 ff. The background shows the lovely coast of Mayo, Ireland. The authors express their gratitude to Prof.… 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.
