Hypoiodite-catalysed oxidative cyclisation of Michael adducts of chalcones with 1, 3-dicarbonyl compounds: a facile and versatile approach to substituted furans and cyclopropanes. Issue 89 (19th October 2016) - Gao, Wen-Chao
Abstract : Hypoiodite catalysis for selective oxidative cyclization has been developed, yielding either furans or cyclopropanes with excellent diastereoselectivity. Abstract : Through hypoiodite catalysis, oxidative cyclisation of Michael adducts of chalcones with 1, 3-dicarbonyl compounds for divergent synthesis of either furans or cyclopropanes is developed. The selective synthesis of major products is achieved depending on the use of different reaction conditions or substrates.
