Abstract:The condensation between an α‐dicarbonyl molecule and 2 equivalents of 3‐oxoglutarate (or dialkyl 1,3‐acetonedicarboxylate) in a slightly acidic aqueous media (pH = 5) to form a
cis
‐bicyclo[3.3.0]octane‐3,7‐dione derivative after acidic hydrolysis and decarboxylation is known as the Weiss reaction. This reaction is also known as the Weiss–Cook condensation because of the contribution by Weiss and his student Cook for the synthesis of multicyclic polyquinane systems. The present study a… 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.
