The alkoxides (1a - e) undergo accelerated 1,5-shifts in hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA) at 20 deg C, and the alkoxides (6a - c) rearrange similarly in HMPA at 80 - 95 deg C; the stereospecificity of the rearrangements and the exclusive formation of 2,2-disubstituted indanones (8) from (6) testify to the concerted nature of these shifts.
