M. Harmata et De. Jones, HETEROATOM-STABILIZED ALLYLIC CATIONS IN 4-CYCLOADDITIONS - A TANDEM PETERSON-OLEFINATION 4+3-CYCLOADDITION REACTION(3), Tetrahedron letters, 38(22), 1997, pp. 3861-3862
The readily available tertiary alcohols 4a-c react with selected diene
s in the presence of titanium tetrachloride to give 4+3 cycloaddition
products. The process is best rationalized as a Peterson olefination f
ollowed by allylic cation formation and 4+3 cycloaddition. (C) 1997 El
