Ring Expansions via Photoinduced Single Electron Transfer Promoted Opening of Cyclopropyl Ethers
Gassman, Paul G.,Burns, Stephen J.
, p. 5576 - 5578 (1988)
A general method of ring expansion involving acetal to ring-homologated acetal is described.The key steps in the overall process involve (a) acetal to enol ether conversion, (b) cyclopropane formation, and (c) photoinduced single electron transfer promoted opening of the cyclopropane.
