Rm. Moriarty et al., FUNCTIONALIZATION OF FUSED CYCLOPENTANE DERIVATIVES USING HYPERVALENTIODINE REAGENTS, Journal of chemical research. Synopses, (1), 1998, pp. 32-33
Fused cyclopentane derivatives, viz. methyl 2-oxobicyclo[3.1.0] hexane
-1-carboxylate (2a), methyl 6-methyl-2-oxobicyclo[3.l.0]hexane-l-carbo
xylate (2b) and methyl 3-oxotricyclo[3.3.0.0(2,8)]octane-2-carboxylate
(6), have been functionalized by using the hypervalent iodine reagent
s iodobenzene diacetate (IBD) and [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo] benzene (HTI
B).
