Prying open a Thiele cage: Discovery of an unprecedented extended pinacol rearrangement. Chemical Communications, 55, 1600-1603. https://doi.org/10.1039/C8CC08862Dhttps://doi.org/10.1039/C8CC08862Dhttp://hdl.handle.net/1828/11866The first extended pinacol rearrangement across an sp3–sp3 bond is reported. The reaction appears to be both stereo- and regio-specific, and results in an extremely rare example of cage opening for a 1,3-bishomocubane structure derived from Thiele's ester.enPostprintDepartment of Chemistry
