Abstract

In the presence of a catalytic amount of antimony (V) chloride or antimony (V) salt generated from antimony (V) chloride and silver hexafluoroantimonate, the pinacol rearrangement of several 1, 2-diols or their trimethylsilyl ethers proceeds smoothly to give the corresponding ketones in good yields.
