Ru(II)-Catalyzed peri-C-H Activation with Strained Alkylidene β-Lactones and β-Lactams: Selective Access to Seven- and Four-Membered Heterocycles
{{output}}
A Ru(II)-catalyzed peri-C-H activation of α-naphthols with strained alkylidene β-lactones and β-lactams is reported. With alkylidene β-lactones, the reaction proceeds via controlled strain release, favoring an allylic substitution pathway to afford a broad... ...
