Reaction of Lithioisobutyrophenone with (+)-2(S)-Iodooctane in Weakly Polar Aprotic Solvents

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00173a001

Lithioisobutyrophenone reacts with (+)-2(S)-iodooctane to give the corresponding enol ether 3 and 1-phenyl-2,2,3-trimethylnonanone (2) together with 1- and 2-octenes.In dimethoxyethane and dioxolane, the C- and O-alkylation products are formed in the rati
