The PPh3/CBr4-catalyzed isomerization of 2-aromatic allylic alcohols into the corresponding saturated aldehydes or ketones has been achieved at room temperature in good to excellent yields under mild and metal-free conditions. This new methodology has been applied successfully to the synthesis of ibuprofen in four steps.
