ChemInform Abstract: 2-Iminooxetane Chemistry. Part 2. General Synthesis from Ketenimine-Aldehyde Cycloadditions.
ChemInform Abstract
Regiospecific (2 + 2)cycloaddition reaction of the ketenimine (I) with the aldehydes (II) in the presence of a lanthanide Shift reagent produces the E- or Z-2-iminooxetanes (III) and (IV) respectively.
