Denmark, Scott E.,Rivera, Isaac
, p. 6887 - 6889 (2007/10/02)
The asymmetric carboalkoxyalkylidenation of 4-substituted cyclohexanones was effected by the use of chirally modified Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reagents in good yields (78-82percent) as well as high levels of enantioselectivity (78-86percent ee).
A versatile synthesis of butenolides: Total synthesis of (+/-)-mintlactone
Cory,Ritchie,Shrier
, p. 6789 - 6792 (2007/10/02)
The butenolide monoterpenes, mintlactone and isomintlactone, have been synthesized by a new method for the preparation of butenolides from α,β-unsaturated esters by deconjugation, epoxidation and rearrangement.
