ChemInform Abstract: Organocatalytic One‐Pot Oxidative Cleavage of Terminal Diols to Dehomologated Carboxylic Acids.

Abstract

Dehomologated Carboxylic Acids. -The reaction proceeds without epimerization of adjacent stereocenters and several functional groups such as triple bonds, acetonides, ethers, and carbamates are tolerated. Under these conditions, terminal triols and tetraols can also be converted into carboxylic acids. -(SHIBUYA*, M.; DOI, R.; SHIBUTA, T.; UESUGI, S.-I.; IWABUCHI, Y.; Org.
