Mn(III) acetate-mediated regioselective benzylation of various α,β-unsaturated and β-alkoxy-α,β-unsaturated ketones
We describe herein the results of manganese(III) acetate mediated α′-benzylation of various α,β-unsaturated and β-alkoxy-α,β-unsaturated ketones in moderate yields.
Radical-Based Synthesis of Terpenoids. Stereoselectivity in the Trapping of Radicals from Cyclization of 3-(1-Ethoxy-2-haloethoxy)cyclohexenes
Stereoselectivity in the intermolecular trapping of the bicyclic radical intermediates from cyclization of 3-(1-ethoxy-2-haloethoxy)cyclohexenes with methyl acrylate was found to be affected remarkably by the conformation of the radical intermediates.The
