Abstract

Abstract: A general procedure for the conversion of a-methylene ketones to a-methioxy ketones is exemplified by the preparation of 2-methioxy-7-methoxytetralone-1 (4). The steric influence of the a-methioxy function is assessed. Submission of 5, the oxime of 4, to the conditions of the Beckmann rearrangement causes fragmentation to a mixture of 3-aryl-trans- and-cis-1-methioxypropenes (6 and 7). The use of a new reagent, 2-chloro-1, 1, 2- ...
