M. Kawase et al., AN ANOMALOUS DAKIN-WEST REACTION OF N-CARBAMATE SUBSTITUTED PROLINES AND TRIFLUOROACETIC-ANHYDRIDE, Chemical communications, (6), 1998, pp. 641-642
A novel transformation of N-alkoxycarbonylprolines 1 to 4-trifluoroace
tyl-2,3-dihydropyrroles 2 was efficiently realized by utilizing triflu
oroacetic anhydride, in which probable intermediates were mesoionic 1,
3-oxazolium-5-olates B.
