K. Yamaguchi et al., DIASTEREODIFFERENTIATING COUPLING OF PHENOXY RADICAL MOIETY CONTROLLED BY 2,4-PENTANEDIOL TETHER - PREPARATION OF OPTICALLY-ACTIVE PUMMERERS KETONE ANALOGS, Tetrahedron letters, 39(25), 1998, pp. 4521-4524
The highly diastereo-differentiating coupling of the phenoxy radical c
ould be achieved by a 2,4-pentanediol tethered reaction to give a sing
le diastereomer of Pummerer's ketone analog. By the removal of the chi
ral auxiliary, the optically active phenoxy radical dimer was obtained
in good yield. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
