Phase-Transfer-Catalyzed Conversion of Alkynes to Lactones Induced by Manganase Carbonyl Complexes
Wang, Jin-Xian,Alper, Howard
, p. 273 - 275 (1986)
Alkynes react with methyl iodide, bromopentacarbonylmanganese (or dimanganese decacarbonyl), and carbon monoxide, under phase-transfer catalysis conditions, to give γ-butyrolactones; the reaction conditions are mild , and the process is a regiospecific one
