Novel alkylation, lactonisation and cascade coupling processes mediated by lead tetracarboxylates: the importance of ligands
The reactions of lead(IV) tetracarboxylates with carboxylic acids containing unsaturated side chains is reported. At elevated temperature in toluene, facile decarboxylation or lactonisation processes are observed, depending on the length of the carboxylate side chain and in some cases further cascad...
