From 6-t-butylfulvene to highly functionalized five-membered rings.
6-t-Butylfulvene was used as the starting material for asymmetric dihydroxylation. The obtained protected diol (2) was used for several stereoselective functionalizations such as epoxidations, hydroboration, and aminohydroxylation. However, these fulvene derivatives proved to be rather unreactive and gave no conversion under, e.g., palladium (0), catalyses or hydroboration conditions.
