THE WITTIG REARRANGEMENT OF 2-ALKENYLOXYACETIC ACIDS AND ITS APPLICATIONS TO THE STEREOCONTROLLED SYNTHESIS OF β,γ-UNSATURATED ALDEHYDES AND CONJUGATED DIENOIC ACIDS

Dianions generated from 2-alkenyloxyacetic acids readily undergo the <2,3>sigmatropic rearrangement which can constitute the versatile synthetic sequences for the stereocontrolled synthesis of β,γ-unsaturated aldehydes and conjugated dienoic acids.
