Formation of a Novel Acyl Anion Equivalent by the Electroreduction of Oxazolinium Salts

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1987.1511

Electroreduction of oxazolinium salts synthesized from the corresponding carboxylic acids gave a novel acyl anion equivalent (AAE).The reaction of these AAEs with electrophiles afforded the corresponding aldehydes or ketones in good yields.
