ChemInform Abstract: Highly Efficient and Stereoselective Julia-Kocienski Protocol for the Synthesis of α-Fluoro-α,β-unsaturated Esters and Weinreb Amides Employing 3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl (BTFP) Sulfones.
In this report synthesis of isoquinolinones, isocoumarins, and N-methyl isoquinolinones and olefination of Weinreb amides by C–H bond activation using Ru(ii)/PEG-400 as green and recyclable media are documented.
