P. Galatsis et Jj. Manwell, DECONJUGATIVE ALDOL-CYCLIZATION SEQUENCE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SUBSTITUTED 2-METHOXYTETRAHYDROFURANS, Tetrahedron letters, 36(45), 1995, pp. 8179-8182
We have shown that the conditions of iodine-pyridine provides a stereo
selective method of cyclizing homoallylic alcohols derived from the de
conjugative aldol reaction of methyl (E)-4-methoxy-3-butenoate.
