A non-photochemical route for the regioselective preparation of rtct-pyridylcyclobutanes via hydrothermal isomerisation promoted by polymolybdates

Abstract

A novel approach for the regioselective preparation of rtct-tpcb (tpcb = tetrapyridylcyclobutanes) compounds promoted by polymolybdates under hydrothermal conditions is reported; these isomers are stabilised as counterions in inorganic-organic hybrid solids and are obtained in high to fair yield.
