Abstract

Abstract N, N-Dialkyl-2-(arylmethoxy)-or N, N-dialkyl-2-(diarylmethoxy) acetamides were found to undergo a Wittig rearrangement under the influence of bases such as sodium hydride to form either N, N-dialkyl-3-aryl-or 3, 3-diaryllactamides. When the diarylmethoxy group was asymmetric, the rearrangement resulted in diastereoisomeric reaction products. Ortho substitution in one or both aryl rings altered the course of rearrangement with the ...
