Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The development of a binary catalyst system for bromocycloetherification, consisting of an achiral Lewis base and a chiral Brønsted acid, is described in detail. The results of preliminary kinetic studies are also presented. Chirality 26:343-354, 2013.
