Jj. Eshelby et al., THE CONSTRUCTION OF 1,3-DIENES CONTAINING AN E-DOUBLE BOND AND AN EXO-METHYLENE GROUP, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (15), 1995, pp. 1497-1498
The use of a tandem Ireland Claisen rearrangement followed by an in si
tu silicon mediated epoxide fragmentation provides an efficient entry
into 1,3-dienes containing an E-double bond and an exo-methylene group
; initial results regarding remote chirality control are reported.
