A practical and environmentally friendly method for oxidative rearrangement of five- and six-membered cyclic tertiary allylic alcohols to beta-disubstituted alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones by the IBX/DMSO reagent system is described. Several conventional protecting groups (e.g., Ac, MOM, and TBDPS) are compatible under the reaction conditions prescribed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
