Abstract
The reduction of acyl chlorides by zerovalent zinc dust is described. The reaction gives enol esters of (Z) configuration in high yields. Th e initial product is presumed to be an acyl zinc species, which gives the enol ester in a stereospecific manner by a 1,2-hydrogen shift on t he carbene intermediate. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
