The expected products were formed in excellent isolated yields within a short period of time （5-20 min）. Major advantages of the present procedure include use of inexpensive and readily available catalyst, exclusion of pre- and post-chemical treatment of catalyst and use of methanol as solvent instead of ethers and chlorinated solvents.展开更多
