Abstract

Abstract An improved procedure for intramolecular cyclization of some Δ 5-alkenols, using PhSeX (X= Cl, Br) has been developed. We found that cyclization can be facilitated in the presence of pyridine, Ag 2 O, and some Lewis acids as catalysts. Thus catalytic amount of additives (pyridine and Ag 2 O) influences higher yields but equimolar amount achieves almost quantitative yield under extremely mild experimental conditions. In the presence of ...
