Abstract

Abstract: The reaction of allyl acetates with the sodium salt of dimethyl malonate or methyl benzenesulfonylacetate in the presence of catalytic quantities of tetrakis (tripheny1phosphine) palladium is probed. The reactivity of 1-(1'-acetoxyethy1) cycloalkenes falls in the order 5 k 7>> 6. The ability to invert the normal reactivity of two leaving groups is illustrated. With a trisubstituted double bond olefin stereochemistry is completely retained, ...
