Rearrangements of aryl-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octenones: synthesis of novel biaryls and 1-aryl-3-furylpropanones
Abstract
The formation of 3-arylbenzaldehydes through rearrangement of 3-aryl-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-en-7-ones is reported, together with various rearrangement reactions of 2-aryl-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.]oct-6-en-3-ones, and a novel approach to the natural product acamelin.
