Free radical ring expansion and rearrangement of large carbocyclic rings
Dowd, Paul,Choi, Soo-Chang
, p. 565 - 568 (1991)
Free radical initiated ring expansion of twelve-, thirtheen-, and fourteen-membered carbocyclic rings is described together with a new synthesis of (R)-(-)-muscone.
Homologation of large rings
Dowd,Choi
, p. 4773 - 4792 (2007/10/02)
Free radical-promoted, one-carbon, ring expansion of twelve, fourteen-, and fifteen-membered cyclic β-keto esters is described. The method is then extended to include a three-carbon ring expansion of cyclododecanone, the targets being (±)-muscone and natu
