Abstract

The reaction of lead (IV) tetracarboxylates with carboxylic acids containing unsaturated side chains has been found to give acyloxy lactone products in a diastereoselective process; the reaction can be extended to lead (IV) tetrazolates to give the analogous outcome. Mechanistic implications of these results are discussed.
