ChemInform Abstract: Substituent‐Directed Oxidation: Highly Regio‐ and Stereoselective Oxidative Cyclization of Cycloalkenols with Ceric Ammonium Nitrate.

Abstract

ChemInform Abstract The cyclooctanols (I) are oxidized with ceric ammonium nitrate (II) to give the oxo-bridged cyclic nitrates (III) which are reductively cleaved, forming the alcohols (IV). (Mechanism).
