An Efficient Stereoselective Synthesis of 4,5-trans-1,5-cis-3-Oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-ones via the Iodolactonization of Alkylidenecyclopropyl Esters
摘要:
A highly stereoselective iodolactonization of alkylidenecyclopropyl esters with iodine or N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) in aqueous CH3CN to afford 4,5-trans-1,5-cis-3-oxabicyclo-[3.1.0]hexane-2ones is described. The reaction is very general, accommodating a wide range of substituents. A plausible mechanism that explains the essential role of water in this reaction is proposed.
