rrr_asd Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hello! I need a cyclization reaction which goes in acidic environment. But that substance should not react in a basic environment. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 If I google for "cyclization reaction", I get the wikipedia page, which mentions a Lewis acid catalyzed reaction as its 1st example. Is that good enough? Did you already try to search around? What did you find so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrr_asd Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Unfortunately, the Lewis acid as a catalyst is not suitable. I tried to find information on this issue, but found reactions required or Lewis acid or heat. I think, it would be better if I tell you more about the problem. I'm looking for the substance non-biological origin, that have a spiral form, and can also compresses and decompresses as spring. Rings like a coumarin will open in a basic environment. They must to unclench my spring. I need some group that will form a cycle in acidic environment, but will not change in the basic environment.
