Book Description
(Cont.) Additional nickel-catalyzed macrocyclization studies of alkynes and epoxides were undertaken with other alkynylepoxides. With these studies we were able to recognize an important structural pattern (a 6,e-unsaturated ynoate) which might be necessary for efficient cyclization. Using this information, the nickel-catalyzed reductive cyclization of alkynes and epoxides was extended to the formation of 12- and 15-membered rings.
