Synthesis based on cyclohexadienes: Part 6 - A new total synthesis of (+/-)-methyl acorate and (+/-)-methyl epi-acorate

A new method of construction of carbon-carbon bond is described.Thus the dianions generated from the metal-ammonia reduction of substituted benzoic acids readily undergo Michael addition with methyl crotonate resulting in synthetically useful products hav

Michael Reactions of the Anions generated by the Metal-Ammonia Reduction of Benzoic Acids

A novel method for the construction of carbon-carbon bonds is described in which anions obtained by the metal-ammonia reduction of benzoic acid and its derivatives undergo ready Michael reaction with methyl crotonate to give the addition products.
