Highly Stereoselective Oxidative Esterification of Aldehydes with β-Dicarbonyl Compounds
摘要:
Copper-catalyzed oxidative esterification of aldehydes with beta-dicarbonyl compounds was developed using tert-butyl hydroperoxide as an oxidant. In general, the enol esters were synthesized in good yields ( up to 87%) and high stereoselectivity under the optimized reaction conditions.
