METHYLENECYCLOPENTANE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Methylenecyclopentane has been used in total synthesis of (±)-cephalotaxin.

General Description

Hydration rate of methylenecyclopentane has been measured spectrophotometrically in aqueous perchloric acid. Trost′s palladium-mediated methylenecyclopentane annelation to the nitroalkene yields methylenecyclopentane derivative.
