Regioselective Ring Opening of Vinylcyclopropanes by Hydrogenation with Palladium on Activated Carbon
摘要:
A highly regioselective reductive ring opening of vinylcyclopropanes induced by palladium on activated carbon has been investigated. High yields and excellent regioselectivities were observed in cleaving either the less hindered bond or the more hindered bond of the cyclopropane depending on whether the substituent on the vinylcyclopropane is capable of coordinating to Pd or not.
