摘要

Silyl triflate-promoted rearrangement of cis-2, 3-epoxycycloalkanols A, prepared by epoxidation of the cyclic allylic alcohol and then silylation, afforded good yields (∼ 70–75%) of the cis-2-alkyl-3-silyloxycycloalkanones B, presumably via the intermediates C and D, even with quite large α-substituents, eg, tert-butyl. Finally, it has been shown that the stereochemistry of the epoxy alcohol is crucial as one would expect from the mechanism.
