Carbonylation of cis-Disubstituted Epoxides to trans-β-Lactones: Catalysts Displaying Steric and Contrasteric Regioselectivity
2014
Mulzer, Michael | Coates, Geoffrey W.
trans-β-Lactones are a versatile and useful class of compounds, but reliable methods for their direct synthesis are still limited. Addressing this problem, we present herein two catalysts for the regioselective carbonylation of cis-disubstituted epoxides. The two catalysts show high activities and opposing regioselectivities so that either one of the two possible β-lactone regioisomers can be obtained selectively.
