M. Sollogoub et al., TITANIUM(IV) PROMOTED REARRANGEMENT OF 6-DEOXY-HEX-5-ENOPYRANOSIDES INTO CYCLOHEXANONES, Tetrahedron letters, 39(21), 1998, pp. 3471-3472
The Lewis acid Ti((OPr)-Pr-i)Cl-3 was found to mediate under very mild
conditions (-78 degrees C) the high-yielding (82-98%) rearrangement o
f benzylated 6-deoxy-hex-5-enopyranosides of the alpha-D-gluco, galact
o and manno series into substituted cyclohexanones. (C) 1998 Published
