Synthesis of seven-membered lactones via nickel- and zinc-catalyzed highly regio- and stereoselective cyclization of 2-iodobenzyl alcohols with propiolates.

J. Am. Chem. Soc. 124(20) , 5630-1, (2002)

A new class of substituted seven-membered lactones 3 were conveniently synthesized via cyclization of o-iodobenzyl alcohol 1 (o-IC(6)H(4)CH(2)OH) with various propiolates 2 (RC triple bond CCOOMe) in the presence of Ni(dppe)Br(2) and Zn powder in acetonitrile...
