A facile tandem approach has been established for the convenient diastereoselective synthesis of novel pyrazole and α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone based molecular hybrids. Indium-mediated Barbier-type allylation reaction was performed followed by in situ lactonisation approach. No additive was needed for this transformation and the butyrolactone derivatives were obtained with syn stereochemistry in good yields. The current protocol offers several advantages such as one-pot procedure, high diastereoselectivity, broad substrate scope and good yields of the desired products.
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.
