Abstract

halogen compoundshalogen compounds (acyclic compounds) P 0030 -086A Practical, Stereoselective Synthesis of (E)-and (Z)-2-Bromo-2pentenes.-A short preparation of title compounds (VII) and (III) is described, which is suitable for large-scale production. These bromides may be useful for the synthesis of the corresponding organometallic reagents which are required for synthetic studies towards asteltoxin. - (KIM, H.; LEE, S.-K.; LEE, D.; CHA, J.
