A number of aliphatic and arylaliphatic a,b-epoxy ketones were prepared in good yields in a one-pot procedure by a manganese-catalyzed ring cleavage of 1-substituted and 1,2disubstituted cyclopropanols with oxygen followed by dehydration of the resulting cyclic peroxides with alkali.
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.
