supporting information, p. 10408 - 10412 (2012/11/07)
As close as you can get: Since Breslow intermediates usually exist in their keto form, their O-protected tautomers may be considered as their closest isolable relatives. A series of these compounds have been synthesized, their structures determined, and the kinetics of their reactions with electrophiles investigated. Copyright
Formation of deoxybenzoins from 1,3-dimethyl-2-(α-benzyloxybenzyl)benzimidazolium iodides through rearrangement followed by expulsion of azolium ylide

Treatment of several 1,3-dimethyl-2-(α-benzyloxybenzyl)benzimidazolium iodides 1 with K2CO3 gave deoxybenzoins 2 in moderate yields. Deoxybenzoins 2 were produced through rearrangement of benzyl groups followed by expulsion of 1,3-dimethylbenzimidazolium ylide (4). The reaction is classified as a Wittig rearrangement.
