OXIDATIVE CYCLOADDITION OF 1,3-DIKETONE AND OLEFIN USING ELECTROORGANIC CHEMISTRY

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)85402-7

Electrochemical oxidation of 1,3-diketones in the presence of olefins afforded the formal <3+2> cycloaddition products, dihydrofuran derivatives or tetrahydrofuran derivatives.A mechanism involving attack of a radical intermediate to an olefin has been proposed.
