Reductive addition of polyhalomethanes and their related compounds to aldehydes and 1, 2-elimination of the coupling products in a palladium/aluminum bimetal …
1. ylic acids: a-amino acids, 1 and a-chloroacetic acids, ll while the 2-phenyl-1, l- dihaloethenes 4 (R= aryl) are key precursors in the phenylacetic acid synthesis. 12 In this paper, we describe a straightforward access to trihalomethyl carbinols 2 and 1, l- dihaloethenes 4 as well as stereocontrolled syntheses of ethyl trans-and cis-3-(2, 2- dihaloethenyl)-2, 2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylates. compounds with chloral in the ...
