Cy. Lorber et Ja. Osborn, CIS-DIOXOMOLYBDENUM(VI) COMPLEXES AS NEW CATALYSTS FOR THE MEYER-SCHUSTER REARRANGEMENT, Tetrahedron letters, 37(6), 1996, pp. 853-856
We describe a new catalytic system for the isomerisation of propargyli
c alcohols into alpha,beta-ethylenic carbonyl derivatives (Meyer-Schus
ter rearrangement)(1), based on the combination of dioxomolybdenum(VI)
catalysts and sulfoxides.
