Abstract
Herein, we describe a highly stereoselective method to access a single olefin isomer from readily available β-hydroxy N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) esters. Depending on the configuration of the precursor (anti or syn), either the E or Z olefin is prepared selectively under Lewis acid-promoted conditions. Without involving radical chemistry, a β-lactone is proposed as the key intermediate in this decarboxylative olefination.
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.
