E. Lorthiois et al., ZINCA-ENE-ALLENE CYCLIZATIONS - A WAY TO SUBSTITUTED TETRAHYDROFURANSOR PYRROLIDINES, Bulletin de la Societe chimique de France, 134(3-4), 1997, pp. 333-341
Polysubstituted enynes have been lithiated on the propargylic position
, and transmetalation to the corresponding zinc reagents promotes an e
asy cyclization reaction leading to polysubstituted tetrahydrofurans a
nd pyrrolidines of definite geometry via the zinca-ene-allene reaction
.
