Diastereoselective [2 + 2] cycloaddition of dichloroketene with α-oxyaldehydes and α-amino aldehydes
Abstract
A new route to natural products containing 1,2-diol and 1,2-amino alcohol subunits based on the [2 + 2] cycloaddition of dichloroketene to α-oxyaldehydes and α-amino aldehydes is demonstrated.
