S. Saito et al., Novel three component coupling of ketone, cyclic ether and epoxide using aluminum tris(2,6-diphenylphenoxide) (ATPH), SYNLETT, (5), 1999, pp. 581-583
A ketone, cyclic ether, and epoxide are combined in one-pot using aluminum
tris(2,6-diphenylphenoxide) (ATPH) and LDA, the latter agent being applied
