Abstract

Abstract: Nucleophile selectivity in the electrophilic cyclization of substrates like 3 has been investigated in the context of efficient chemo-and stereoselective functionalization of 3- hydroxy-2-(2-methylenecyclohexan-I-yl) butyric acids (cf., 6-9) via iodocyclization. In addition, composite nucleophile selectivities for this diastereomeric series were used to probe the reliability of ground-state conformational analysis as an indicator of relative ...
