REGIOSELECTIVE RING-OPENING OF 3-ARYL-2-CYANO-2-(METHOXYCARBONYL)OXIRANES WITH METAL-HALIDES AND SILICA-GEL-SUPPORTED METAL-HALIDES - SYNTHESIS OF SUBSTITUTED BUT-3-EN-4-OLIDES

Regioselective ring opening of 3-aryl-2-cyano-2-(methoxyarbonyl)oxiran
es 1 with transition metal halides (copper (II) chloride. copper (11)
bromide, zinc bromide, cobalt chloride and ferric chloride) and silica
-gel-supported metal halides gave methyl 3-aryl-2-cyano-3-halo-2-hydro
xypropanoates 5, 6 and methyl 3-aryl-3-halo-2-oxopropanoates 2, 3. The
reaction of 1 iii chlorobenzene under reflux with silica-gel-supporte
d copper (II) halides gave but-3-en-4-olides 4.
