Unexpected Isomerization of Oxetane-Carboxylic Acids – catalyst design.
Previously, a mechanism with a reasonable predicted energy was modelled for the isomerisation of an oxetane carboxylic acid to a lactone by using two further molecules of acid to transfer the proton and in the process encouraging an Sn2 reaction with inversion to open the oxetane ring. We are now ready to explore variations to […]
