P. Gartner et al., [1,2]-Wittig rearrangement of acetals. Part 1: Investigation about structural requirements, TETRAHEDR-A, 10(24), 1999, pp. 4811-4830
Acetals of different alcohols with (+)-camphor derived enantiomerically pur
e 7,8,8-trimethyl-4,7-methanobenzofuran-2-ol were prepared and subjected to
conditions favorable for a [1,2]-Wittig rearrangement. Results with regard
to conversion, yield and stereochemical course depending on the structure
of the starting material are discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All
