title: Selective allylic hydroxylation of octahydronaphthalene derivatives with a bridgehead double bond using electrochemical method with iron picolinate complexes.
abstract: The combination of electrolysis and the Fe(III)(PA)3/O2/CH3CN system was investigated for allylic hydroxylation of octahydronaphthalene derivatives. Substrates with a bridgehead double bond gave the allylic alcohol with alpha-preference, while non-bridgehead olefin did not react smoothly. This system is a useful tool for alpha-selective allylic hydroxylation of octahydronaphthalene derivatives with a bridgehead double bond as model compounds for the AB fused ring of cholesterols.
