Organoytterbium ate complexes extend the value of cyclobutenediones as isoprene equivalents
Changing course: While organolithium and Grignard reagents favor addition to C1 of A (R=Me), the corresponding organoytterbium reagents add to C2 (R=tBu). Computational studies provide insights into the nature of organoytterbium species and their reactivity, and a total synthesis of (?)-mansonone B...
