CAN-mediated highly regio- and stereoselective oxidation of vinylidenecyclopropanes: a novel method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical divinyl ketone and functional enone derivatives.
CAN-mediated oxidative rearrangement of various vinylidenecyclopropanes under mild conditions generates unsymmetrical divinyl ketone and functional enone derivatives in moderate to good yields with excellent regio- and stereoselectivities. The reaction mechanism was investigated on the basis of an oxygen-18 tracer experiment.
