Title: Why does this Dieckmann Cyclisation not work?
Post by: mesutozil on May 10, 2012, 06:14:05 AM

What product would be formed instead from this reaction? And why is B not formed  ???

I think its something to do with the product from cyclisation of A not having acidic protons but not sure?

Thanks!  ;D
