ZIRCONIUM ASSISTED REGIOSELECTIVE ACYLATION OF DIENES WITH SATURATED OR UNSATURATED ESTERS TO LEAD TO β,γ-UNSATURATED CARBONYL COMPOUNDS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1983.217

Regioselective formylation or acylation of isoprene at the C1 atom was realized by reaction of Cp2Zr(isoprene) with saturated esters followed by protonolysis with acetic acid.The corresponding reaction with various alkyl acrylates resulted in the formatio
