Xanthates and vinyl esters, a remarkably powerful alliance

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The present brief overview highlights and discusses the synthetic potential of the degenerative radical addition of xanthates to vinyl esters. The process results in the formation of masked aldehydes bearing numerous functionalities. It allows expedient and convergent syntheses of various structures, including cyclic and open-chain enones, trifluoromethyl enones, dienes, pyrroles, dithietanones, thiophenes, hydroxytetralones, naphthalenes and naphthols.
