Control of intramolecular γ-alkylation vs.α-alkylation of an αβ-unsaturated ketone: an unusual solvent effect
Abstract
Most base–solvent combinations convert (2) into (3); γ-alkylation to yield (5) is effected by sodium hydroxide in dimethyl sulphoxide–water mixtures in which the water content is critical.
