Samarium (II) iodide-induced intermolecular coupling of ¦Á,¦Â-unsaturated esters with ketones: reactions of methyl propiolate and ethyl buta-2,3-dienoate with cyclohexanone and its application to synthesis of a terpene carboxylic acid
文摘
The reactions of methyl propiolate and ethyl buta-2,3-dienoate with cyclohexanone induced by SmI2 occurred either at ¦Á- or ¦Â-position to yield different products depending on with or without a proton source. The synthesis of terpenic acid was demonstrated using this reaction.
