However, a dramatic change of the facial selectivity was observed when the reaction was performed in the presence of Cs2CO3, leading to the corresponding trans adducts. This annulation is the key step of a stereocontrolled synthesis of the 17acarba analogue of the heteroyohimbine alkaloid akuammigine. Theoretical calculations were used to rationalize the facial selectivity of these double Michael addition reactions.11 p.application/pdfeng(c) Wiley-VCH, 2017Teoria del funcional de densitatIndicadors (Química)Proves i reactius químicsQuímica orgànicaDensity functionalsIndicators and test-papersChemical tests and reagentsOrganic chemistryinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6776982019-06-20info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
