Abstract

Abstract Lithium β-oxidocarbenoids are quite unstable event at− 120 C and undergo α elimination. A subsequent migration of a group from the neighbouring alcoholic carbon to the carbenoid center leads to the formation of an α-chloroketo or aldo lithio enolate. This reaction allows a facile one step preparation of α-haloketones. It is particularly suitable for the synthesis of C n+ 1 chlorocyclanones from C n cyclanones. The mechanism of various ...
