Abstract

(matrix presented) n = 1,2 Nuc = OH, enol ether Yields = 75-94% Intramolecular coupling reactions of ketene dithioacetal groups with enol ether and alcohol nucleophiles have been studied. The reactions were initiated by an anodic oxidation of the ketene dithioacetal and proved to be compatible with the formation of five- or six-member rings, as well as the stereoselective generation of quaternary carbons.
