Mh. Kress et al., INVESTIGATIONS OF THE INTRAMOLECULAR NI(II) CR(II)-MEDIATED COUPLING REACTION - APPLICATION TO THE TAXANE RING-SYSTEM/, Tetrahedron letters, 34(38), 1993, pp. 6003-6006
The intramolecular Ni(II)/Cr(II)-mediated coupling reaction of activat
ed olefins with aldehydes is studied in order to identify an ideal arr
angement of functionality for construction of the taxane ring system.
