journal contribution
posted on 2000-09-13, 00:00 authored by István E. Markó, Stuart L. Warriner, Benoît AugustynsTreatment of bicyclic lactones derived from Diels−Alder reactions of 3-carbomethoxy-2-pyrone under radical conditions leads to a series of
interesting skeletal rearrangements. The stereochemical and optical integrity of the starting material are maintained throughout the process.
