A Ring Size-Selective Reduction of Lactones Using SmI2 and H2O
摘要:
The Sml(2)-H2O reducing systems shows complete selectivity for six-membered lactones over other classes of lactone and esters. Experimental and computational studies suggest that the origin of the selectivity lies in the initial electron-transfer to the lactone carbonyl.
