α-Methoxylation of Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00099a037

α-Methoxylation of enals or enones can be performed in high yield by a simple one-pot reaction sequence: Bromination of unsaturated hydrazones, HBr-elimination, and addition of methanol leads to the formation of β-bromo-α-methoxy hydrazones (11), which af
