R. Scarpati et al., 1-ALKOXY-2,3,7-TRIOXABICYCLO[2.2.1]HEPT-5-ENES - BICYCLIC MONOPEROXY ORTHO ESTERS AS USEFUL SYNTHONS FOR MULTIFUNCTIONAL COMPOUNDS, Synlett, (1), 1998, pp. 17
The title compounds are readily obtained by singlet oxygen oxygenation
of 2-alkoxyfurans, and they display an intriguing variety of useful t
ransformations which are presented here in a systematic way. These tra
nsformations give rise to either new classes of peroxidic systems or t
o classes of known compounds which are obtained by more convenient pat
hways.
