Abstract

Deconstructive hydrodealkenylations are valuable transformations, particularly utilized in the chiral pool-based enantiospecific syntheses. Current approaches to hydrodealkenylations have limitations regarding functional group tolerance, with ozone being a primary reagent in the installation of the peroxyketal intermediate formed prior to Fe(II) induced β-scission. This work details an ozone-free protocol with a selectivity profile that is expected to follow the Mukaiyama peroxidation.
