A New Methodology for the Construction of Chiral 4-Benzyl-2-furanone via C2-Symmetric Bis-Radical Intermediate

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1991.203

A new methodology leading to optically pure 4-benzyl-2-furanone has been developed by employing intramolecular reaction intervening C₂-Symmetric bis-radical intermediate derived from diethyl (L)-tartrate.
