Fouquet, Yasuo Norikane Base-catalyzed, C-Alkylation of potassium (K) Enolates with Syrenes (CAKES) enables practical synthesis or elaboration of pharmaceutical coresvia a thusfar elusive mechanism. Herein, computational (DFT) and kinetic studies back a metal-ene reaction. To cite this article before page numbers are assigned, use the DOI form of citation above.
