Rearrangements initiated by trimethylsilyl iodide: the facile ring opening of some cyclobutanone derivatives
Abstract
The powerful electrophile trimethylsilyl iodide in the presence of certain catalysts rapidly and cleanly initiates the ring opening of a variety of cyclobutanone derivatives in a highly regioselective fashion yielding ultimately β-iodoketones. © 1980.
