D. Lapotre et al., Radical cyclisation of 1-bromo-2-(prop-2-enyloxy)benzene using a polymer-supported organotin hydride, SYN COMMUN, 31(21), 2001, pp. 3207-3218
The use of polymer-supported organotin hydride for the cyclisation 1-bromo-
2-(prop-2-enyloxy)benzene I to give 2,3-dihydro-3-methylbenzofuran II has b
een studied. The supports were prepared by suspension copolymerisation of a
n organotin-functionalised monomer. Two approaches have been investigated e
ither using a stoichiometric or a catalytic amount of organotin support.
