Steric aspects of the intramolecular cyclisation of 2-arylcyclohexylacetic acids. Part V
Abstract
The conversion of different 2-(2,5-xylyl)cyclohexylidene compounds (III) into cis- and trans-2-(2,5-xylyl)cyclohexylacetic acids (I) and (II) is described and the steric factors governing the distribution of the cis- and trans-isomers formed in the reaction are discussed.
