1,2-Bond Shift Isomerization on Copper

Besides yielding 3-ethyl-3-hydroxypentan-2-one (2) and 3-ethylpentan-2-one (4), 3-ethylpentane-2,3-diol (1) is transformed on copper catalysts into 4-methyl-4-hydroxyhexan-3-one (3) and 4-methylhexan-3-one (5), via 1,2-ethyl migration, this being the first experimental observation of 1,2-bond shift isomerization on copper.
