The cyclopropanol-derived palladium-homoenolates have previously been exploited as a unique class of cross-coupling partners in our group. The major advantage of using cyclopropanols as the cross-coupling partners is the ...

A new method for the synthesis of ring-fused cyclopentenone is described. The method utilizes the built-in strain of tertiary cyclobutanol to drive the palladium(II)-catalyzed rearrangement to the corresponding ring-fused ...
