Abstract
The reaction of substituted cinnamic alcohols with bis(sym-collidine)bromin e(I) hexafluorophosphate was examined. In general no oxetane was obtained w hen a substituent was fixed on the carbon-carbon double bond. However, oxet anes were formed in high yields when two substituents were present in alpha of the alcohol function. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserve d.
