MECHANISTIC VIEWS OF STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF TRI AND TETRA-SUBSTITUTED ALKENES, PART I; THE ORGANIC CHEMISTRY NOTEBOOK SERIES, A DIDACTICAL APPROACH, Nº 3

Abstract

"As underlined in two previous papers in: “The Organic Chemistry Notebook Series, a Didactical Approach”, the presentation of synthesis works in a verbal and graphical succinct manner, needs a didactical approach. Isomerically pure tri- and tetra-substituted alkenes are difficult to obtain as shown in several publications. We used a series of reactions to synthesize tri- and tetra-substituted alkenes as reviewed by W. Carruthers, and we have proposed didactical and mechanistic views for the reviewed reactions."
