Synthesios of Cyclopentane Derivatives by Electrochemical Reduction of 1,5-Dibromopentane Derivatives

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1986.2125

When 1,5-dibromopentane derivatives, which were prepared by CuBr-catalyzed photochemical reaction of 1,3-dibromopropane or its derivatives with electron-deficient olefins, were subjected to electrochemical reduction in THF or DMSO solution, cyclopentane derivatives were obtained.
