Copper-catalysed intramolecular O–H addition to unactivated alkenes
摘要:
Intramolecular cyclisation of omega-alkenoic acids and alkenols can be achieved using a catalytic amount of Cu(OTf)(2) to afford lactones and cyclic ethers, offering a practical alternative to existing catalysts. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
