The base-catalyzed rearrangement of 2-(2-nitro-, 4-nitro-, and 4-cyanobenzyloxy)tropones smoothly yielded corresponding 2-[(aryl)hydroxymethyl]tropones, while their thermolysis gave 3-(arylmethyl)tropolones. This reaction has no precedent analogy in troponoid chemistry, and this rearrangement is widely applicable to the 2-troponyl ethers of alcohols carrying an electron-attractive substituent on the α-position, as was verified by the occurrence of 2-(1-hydroxy-2-oxo-2-phenethyl)tropone from 2-(2-oxo-2-phenethyloxy)tropone.
