Stereoelectronic control in transition metal-catalysed substitution and rearrangement of allylic esters and alcohols
Abstract
In competitive experiments with cis- and trans-5-t-butyl-2-methylenecyclohexanols and their acetates, stereocontrol in the Pd- and Ni-catalysed alkylation of allylic derivatives and the Mo-catalysed isomerisation of allylic alcohols is observed.
