A -Wittig Rearrangement that Requires Severe Deformation from a Stable 6-Membered Ring Chair Structure and Its Application to Synthesize 1,3-anti-3,5-anti-1,3,5-Trimethylated Carbon Chain Compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)77634-9

A <2,3>-Wittig rearrangement was accomplished overcoming severe six-membered ring deformation barier and utilized as a key step in a highly stereoselective synthesis of the title compounds.
