Thallium trinitrate mediated ring contraction of cis-2-decalones

The reaction of some cis-2-decalones with TTN in CH2Cl2 at room temperature was investigated. The ring contraction reactions occurred in good yields, however the regio- and diastereoselectivity were low. The effect of the alkyl groups in the regiochemistry of the reaction depends on their position a...
