NOVEL DISTANNOXANE-CATALYZED TRANSESTERIFICATION AND A NEW ENTRY TO α,β-UNSATURATED CARBOXYLIC ACIDS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)84535-9

Novel distannoxane-catalyzed transesterification reaction has been developed which affords various types of esters under very mild conditions.The reaction was applied to the stereo- and regioselective synthesis of trisubstituted α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids.
