Abstract
A two-step procedure, combining a SmI2-mediated transannular pinacol coupling reaction with an acid-catalyzed pinacol rearrangement process, was employed to prepare a diverse range of 1-substituted bicyclo[2.1.1]hexan-5-ones from cyclobutanedione derivatives. To underscore the significance of these bicyclic ketones in drug synthesis, an sp3-rich analog of nitazoxanide, a well-known antiparasitic and antiviral agent, was synthesized.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
