Light-enabled scalable synthesis of bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane halides and their functionalizations
{{output}}
In 2012, bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes were demonstrated to be bioisosteres of the benzene ring. Here, we report a general scalable reaction between alkyl iodides and propellane that provides bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane iodides in milligram, gram and even kilogram quantiti... ...
