Lewis acid-induced rearrangment of α-[bis(methylthio)methylene]ethyl-2-styrylcyclopropylcarbinols: unexpected formation of a novel bicyclo[3.2.1]octadiene framework
Abstract
The α-[bis(methylthio)methylene]ethyl-2-styrylcyclopropylcarbinols 9a–c undergo a simple but unexpected skeletal rearrangement in the presence of
