Reactions
- Diastereoselective formation of trans-1,2-disubstituted cyclohexanes from alkylidenemalonates by an intramolecular ene reaction: dimethyl (1'R,2'R,5'R)-2-(2'-isopropenyl-5'-methylcyclohex-1'-yl)-propane-1,3-dioate (Propanedioic acid, [5-methyl-2-(1-methylethenyl)cyclohexyl]-, dimethyl ester, [1R-(1α,2β,5α)]-)product
- Stereoselective alkene synthesis via 1-chloro-1-[(dimethyl)phenylsilyl]alkanes and α-(dimethyl)phenylsilyl ketones: 6-methyl-6-dodeceneproduct
