G. Aranda et al., NEW APPLICATION OF THE MITSUNOBU REACTION FOR THE PREPARATION OF (DELTA-2) DERIVATIVES IN TERPENIC SERIES, Synthetic communications, 24(18), 1994, pp. 2525-2535
Application of the Mitsunobu reaction to various 3 beta-(equatorial)-h
ydroxy-4,4-dimethyl terpenic compounds provides the 2-ene-derivatives
in good yields. A discussion about the mechanisms involved, and full d
etails on the modified experimental protocol are given.
