A convenient method for lactonization of α-allyl esters using iodine in dimethyl- sulphoxide
Abstract
A simple method for the synthesis of α-γ-disubstituted-γ-butyrolactones by cyclization of α-allyl esters using iodine in dimethylsulphoxide is reported. This method is efficient and operationally simple in comparison to methods using transition metal complexes. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/bcse.v28i3.16
