Iron-Catalyzed Regio- and Stereoselective Ring Opening of [2.2.1]- and [3.2.1]Oxabicyclic Alkenes with a Grignard Reagent.

Abstract

Arylative and alkenylative ring-opening reactions of a [2.2.1]- or [3.2.1]oxabicyclic alkene with a Grignard reagent take place in the presence of a catalytic amount of iron(III) chloride and a sto...
