Chemo- and Regioselective Isomerization of Epoxides to Carbonyl Compounds via Palladium Catalysis
摘要:
Palladium(O)-tertiary phosphine complexes catalyze the chemo- and regioselective isomerization of epoxides to carbonyl compounds in good to excellent yields; alkyl-substituted epoxides afford methyl ketones, and aryl-substituted epoxides form aldehydes or ketones via cleavage of the benzylic C-O bond.
