RT Journal Article T1 A Two-Step, Stereoselective Synthesis of Nine- and Ten-Membered Carbocycles from Phthalates A1 Prado, Gustavo A1 Veiga, Alberte X. A1 Fernández-Nieto, Fernando A1 Paleo Pillado, María Rita A1 Sardina López, Francisco Javier AB A two-step, stereoselective procedure for the synthesis of nine- and ten-membered carbocycles from readily available phthalates is described. A variety of dialkyl phthalates have been transformed into [6,n]-fused bicyclo systems (n = 5, 6, 7) by a dearomatization/cyclization process and then converted into cyclonona- and cyclodecadienes through a bond cleavage reaction, whereby both processes are promoted by alkaline metals in THF PB American Chemical Society SN 1523-7060 YR 2015 FD 2015 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/16987 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/16987 LA eng NO Prado, G., Veiga, A., Fernández-Nieto, F., Paleo, M., & Sardina, F.
