Abstract:Computational studies on the mechanism and diastereoselectivity of base catalyzed synthesis of bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes by Robinson annulation are reported. Three possible mechanisms were considered, and only the methanol assisted H‐shift process could be the favorable pathway. We have discovered a rare Curtin–Hammet scenario: rate determining steps for the two diastereomeric products formed are completely different reactions, and a correction factor should be considered when gauging the ratio of products from co… Show more
Efficient and selective upgrading of aqueous acetone−n-butanol−ethanol (ABE) mixtures to high-density bio-fuel, especially aviation fuel and biodiesel is extremely desirable but still remains a significant challenge. Here for the first...
