Stereocontrolled formation of cis and trans ring junctions in hydrindane and decalin systems by palladium-catalyzed regioselective and stereospecific hydrogenolysis of allylic formates
Both cis and trans ring junctions can be generated selectively in hydrindane, decalin, and steroid systems by the palladium-catalyzed regioselective and stereospecific hydrogenolysis of allylic formates.
