Nh. Lee et Rc. Larock, Efficient synthesis of benzoprostacyclins using free-radical and palladium-catalyzed tandem alkene insertion strategies, B KOR CHEM, 22(8), 2001, pp. 857-866
Efficient syntheses of PGI(2) analogue 2a and its epimer 3 have been accomp
lished. Using aryl iodide 6 as the common intermediate, either radical or p
alladium-assisted tandem alkene insertion strategies have been employed for
construction of the benzoprostacyclin framework.
