J. Yoshida et al., ANODIC CYCLIZATION OF UNSATURATED ALPHA-STANNYL ETHERS - TERMINATION BY BROMIDE DERIVED FROM DIBROMOMETHANE, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (20), 1994, pp. 2361-2362
Anodic oxidation of unsaturated alpha-stannyl ethers in Bu(4)NClO(4)-C
H2Br2 results in effective cyclization and the introduction of bromide
into one of the original olefinic carbons; a mechanism involving the
coupling between the cyclized carbocation and Br- generated by cathodi
c reduction of CH2Br2 is suggested.
