Abstract

We have recently demonstrated that the use of Julia olefination reagents can be extended to the synthesis of methylene exoglycals from sugar-derived lactones. 15 The modified Julia olefination 16 has emerged as a powerful tool for olefin synthesis, through its application in total synthesis of natural products. 17 This reaction has been extended to the preparation of vinyl ethers, 18 fluoro alkenes 19 and α,β-unsaturated esters. 20 In this Letter, we report the extension of ...
