Synthesis of α-alkoxycarbonylcycloalkanones by electrolysis of 1-trimethylsiloxybicyclo[n.1.0]alkanes
Abstract
The α-alkoxycarbonylcycloalkanones (4) were synthesized in 39–79% yields from the (n+3), (n+3)-dichloro-1-trimethylsiloxybicyclo[n.1.0]alkanes (1c; n= 4, 5, and 10) by electrolysis in alcohols in the presence of iron (III) nitrate at –13 to –10 °C.
