Amine-Catalyzed Coupling of Aldehydes and Ketenes Derived from Fischer Carbene Complexes: Formation of β-Lactones and Enol EthersClick to copy article linkArticle link copied!
Abstract

Aldehydes react with ketenes generated from photolysis of Fischer chromium carbene complexes to generate either β-lactones or enol ethers resulting from decarboxylation of β-lactones. The reaction is catalyzed by tertiary amines and can occur with diastereoselectivity greater than 20:1 with DMAP as the catalyst.
