Control of the Birch Reduction of m-Anisic Acid to Produce Specific 3-Oxocyclohexenecarboxylic Acids
Webster, Francis X.,Silverstein, Robert M.
, p. 922 - 924 (1987)
An efficient method is reported of synthesizing relatively large quantities of methyl 3-oxo-1-cyclohexenecarboxylate (2b), a useful dienophile and photoreagent, from m-anisic acid (3) through the Birch reduction.Treating 3 with lithium in liquid ammonia p
Diastereofacial Selectivity of Diels-Alder Reactions of Carbohydrate-Derived Dienes and Their Carbocyclic Analogs
Giuliano, Robert M.,Jordan, Alfonzo D.,Gauthier, A. Diane,Hoogsteen, Karst
, p. 4979 - 4988 (2007/10/02)
The Diels-Alder reactions of two dienes derived from carbohydrates and their carbocyclic analogs are described.The dienes (2S)-3,4-dihydro-2-methoxy-6-vinyl-2H-pyran (1) and (4R)-3,4-dihydro-4-methoxy-6-vinyl-2H-pyran (2) were synthesized from tri-O-acety
