PREPARATION OF 3-BUTADIENYL TETRAHYDROFURANS AND ALPHA-BUTADIENYL GAMMA-BUTYROLACTONES BY RADICAL CYCLIZATION OF BETA-BROMOPENT-4-EN-2-YNYLETHERS AND MIXED ACETALS
Jp. Dulcere et al., PREPARATION OF 3-BUTADIENYL TETRAHYDROFURANS AND ALPHA-BUTADIENYL GAMMA-BUTYROLACTONES BY RADICAL CYCLIZATION OF BETA-BROMOPENT-4-EN-2-YNYLETHERS AND MIXED ACETALS, Synlett, (4), 1996, pp. 391-392
SmI2 - or Bu(3)SnH-promoted radical carbocyclization of beta-bromopent
-4-en-2-ynyl ethers la-e and of the corresponding mixed acetals 3a,b,d
,e respectively affords 3-butadienyl tetrahydrofurans 2a-e and 4a,b,d,
e, which are precursors of alpha-butadienyl gamma-butyrolactones 5a,b,
d,e by oxidation.
