The Grubbs Reaction in Organic Synthesis: Part Two of Three
We last reviewed organic synthesis applications of the Grubbs reaction on April 19, 2004. The (relatively) robust nature of the commercially-available catalyst and its commercial availability have spurred the expanding…
Alkene Reactions: The Dabdoub/Baroni Synthesis of (±)-Dihydroactinidiolide
David B. Cordes of Pacific University reported (Tetrahedron Lett. 2009, 50, 1817. DOI: 10.1016/j.tetlet.2009.02.014) a simple combination of NaBH4 and Pd/C that reduced the alkene 1 to 2. This could…
