ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESIS OF OPTICALLY PURE α-METHYL-β,γ-UNSATURATED KETONES VIA TRIETHYLALUMINIUM-MEDIATED STEREOSPECIFIC PINACOL REARRANGEMENT OF ALKENYL GROUPS

Optically pure α-methyl-β,γ-unsaturated ketones are synthesized by the Et3Al-mediated pinacol-type rearrangement where alkenyl groups migrate stereospecifically with complete retention of the olefin-geometry.
