Abstract

Abstract: Several substituted five-and six-membered cyclic a,,!?-unsaturated ketones are readily available by treatment of the corresponding a-hydroxy epoxides with an organolithium reagent. The reaction involves a new carbenoid 1, 2-alkyl rearrangement. Evidence for the carbenoid intermediate has been obtained by an intramolecular trapping of the highly reactive species.
