Revisiting the Corey–Chaykovsky reaction: the solvent effect and the formation of β-hydroxy methylthioethers
摘要:
The classical Corey-Chaykovsky (CC) reaction of ketones in ethereal solvents (i.e., THF or Et2O) resulted in the production of a 14 significant amount of P-hydroxy methylthioether 2 along with normal epoxide product 1. Some interesting and synthetically useful transformations of the CC reaction product of cyclopropyl ketones were also described. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
