Application of the Peterson Olefination to the Preparation of Substituted Triafulvenes from Methoxycyclopropenylium Triflates

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00200a013

Three new unusually substituted triafulvenes were prepared by reacting methoxycyclopropenylium triflates with α-silyl substituted anions.The mode of a nucleophilic attack varied, depending on the anion.Attack occurred at the methoxy substituted carbon, yi
