Abstract

Knoevenagel adduct allyl anions are easily generated and can serve as platforms for formal 1,3-difunctionalization. Summarized herein are a variety of reaction pathways that can be harnessed for multistep synthesis with emphasis on carbocycle synthesis. 1 Introduction 2 Formal 1,3-Difunctionalization Reactivity Modes: An Overview 3 γ-Alkylation/Deconjugative α-Alkylation 4 Deconjugative α-Alkylation/Pairing Sequences 5 Deconjugative α-Alkylation/Allylic Substitution 6 Deconjugative α-Alkylation/Allylic Transposition/Deconjugative α-Alkylation 7 Future Directions 8 Conclusions.
