, p. 979 - 993 (2007/10/03)
Transition metal mediated isomerisation of allylic alkoxides is presented as a new method for enolate anion generation. The scope and limitations of enolate formation with the catalysts [Rh(dppe)(THF)2]+ClO4- and (Ph3P)3RhCl are explored and the synthetic potential of the methodology demonstrated in the stereoselective formation and reactions of certain ketone and aldehyde enolates.
OBSERVATIONS ON A NICKEL-CATALYZED ISOMERIZATION OF ALLYLIC LITHIUM ALKOXIDES
Motherwell, William B.,Sandham, David A.

Use of complex (Cy3)2NiCl2 rather than ClO4 as catalyst facilitates regioselective preparation of lithium enolates via isomerization of the corresponding allylic alkoxides.The nickel catalyst also succeeds in isomerizing certain di- and trisubst
