Abstract

Rearrangements in the Acid-Catalyzed Formation of Lactones from 2-Hydroxynorbornane-2-acetic Acid Derivatives and Related Compounds. -Mechanisms are proposed for the formation of the lactones that involve protonation and carbocation formation followed by Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement, endo-6,2-hydride and exo-3,2-hydride shifts. -(YATES, P.; KALDAS, M.; Can.
