Spirocyclic sulfates of 2-and 3-(hydroxyalkyl)cyclopropanols, obtainable through the Kulinkovich reaction from β-and γhydroxy carboxylic acid esters, respectively, were synthesized for the first time. The possibility of regio-and stereoselective alkylating the spirocyclic sulfates by using Normant homocuprates has been demonstrated.
The reaction of the sulfates with Normant homocuprates occurs stereospecifically with complete inversion of the configuration as exemplified by the transformation of (R)‐IIb to (R)‐VIII.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
