Title compound was synthesized via a substitution-type thermal 1,2-rearrangement accompanied by introduction of a cyano group, and derived into the corresponding aldehyde, alkanoic acid, and amide.
Title compounds were synthesized via novel stereospecific 1,2-rearrangement of an aryl (or alkenyl) group accompanied by introduction of an alkyl or alkynyl group by usingorganoaluminumreagents.
A new reductive 1,2-rearrangement of aryl (or alkenyl) groups of α-sulfonyloxy acetals to give the title compounds was developed by using the combination of i-BU2AlH and Et3Al, and this method was applied to the synthesis of optically pure (R)-(−)-α-curcumene.
