TY - JOUR T1 - Iron catalyzed tandem ring opening/1,6-conjugate addition of cyclopropanols with p-quinone methides: new access to gamma,gamma-diaryl ketones JF - Chemical Communications Y1 - 2021 A1 - Shirsath, Sachin R. A1 - Chandgude, Sagar M. A1 - Muthukrishnan, M. AB - An iron(iii) catalyzed tandem ring opening/1,6-conjugate addition of cyclopropanols to p-quinone methides leading to gamma,gamma-diaryl ketones has been described. This catalytic protocol provides a novel and efficient method to access gamma,gamma-diaryl ketone derivatives in good to excellent yields with high functional group tolerance. Importantly, gamma,gamma-diaryl ketone can be further functionalized to give a versatile set of useful products. VL - 57 IS - 99 U3 - Foreign U4 - 6.222 ER -
