REACTIVITY OF (3-CHLORO-2-METHYLENECYCLOALKYL)PALLADIUM CHLORIDE DIMERS: PD-ALLYL CLEAVAGE, SYNTHESIS OF (+/-)-13-METHYLTRIDECANOLIDE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)98980-9

The reactions of the title compounds under cleavage conditions affords the corresponding cycloalkenes as the major product.This methodology was used in the synthesis of 13-methyltridecanolide from cyclododecene.
