Tetrahydrofuran Ring Opening with Acyloxyphosphonium Bromide Catalysed by Allylsamarium Bromide: A Novel and Effective Method for the Preparation of 4-Bromobutyl Esters

Abstract

A tetrahydrofuran ring can be opened with acyloxyphosphonium bromide generated in situ catalysed by allylsamarium bromide to afford 4-bromobutyl esters under mild conditions in good to excellent yields.

Keywords
