gem-Dibromomethylarenes: A Convenient Substitute for Noncommercial Aldehydes in the Knoevenagel−Doebner Reaction for the Synthesis of α,β-Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids
摘要:
[Graphics]A facile synthesis of alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids from gem-dibromomethylarenes is described. gem-Dibromomethylarenes are employed for the first time in the Knoevenagel-Doebner reaction as aldehyde equivalents for the efficient synthesis of alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids.
