Abstract

The PtCl2-mediated cycloisomerization of unsaturated propargylic carboxylates yields differently functionalized bicyclo [4.1. 0] heptane enol esters from moderate to good yield, in a very diastereoselective manner. We have prepared and submitted to PtCl2-catalyzed cycloisomerization a series of differently substituted hept-1-en-6-ynes with different O-acyl (acetyl, trichloroacetyl, 3, 4, 5-trimethoxybenzoyl, etc.) protecting groups at propargylic ...
