A Beta-lactone-based route to 1,2-disubstituted cyclopentanes ; mechanistic studies of the tandem Mukaiyama aldol-lactonization (TMAL) reaction ; studies of the zwitterionic intermediate in the general Mukaiyama aldol reaction /

The ability of []-lactones to undergo intramolecular ring opening by allylsilanes leading to O-alkyl cleavage products was demonstrated. A "S[]2-like'' reaction mechanism was proposed. In addition, a novel intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of []-benzyloxy-[]-lactones w...
