Lewis Acid-Initiated Ring-Opening Reactions of Five- and Six-Membered Cyclic Ethers Based on the Oxonium Ylide Intermediates
Dandan Jiang, Jun Xiao, Yingzhen Zhang, Kunming Liu, Juanhua Li & Jinbiao Liu · Organics · 2024
In light of the small ring strain of five/six-membered cyclic ethers, constructing complex molecules via ring-opening reactions has consistently been a highly challenging topic in organic synthesis. Induced by Lewis acids, the charge redistribution in cyclic ethers forms oxonium...
