Regiospecific control in the formation of cyclohexenes from dienes. The catalysed and non-catalysed reactions of butadiene and 2,3-dimethylbutadiene with methyl sorbate
Abstract
The products derived from the reaction of methyl sorbate (2) with butadiene (1) and with 2,3-dimethylbutadiene (5) are altered by the presence of a nickel catalyst.
