Abstract

A Facile 1,5-Rearrangement of β-Formylenamides and Cleavage of Esters Catalyzed by Pseudomonas fluorescens. -The N-acetyl group of β-formylenamides rearranges in the presence of Pseudomonas fluorescens to yield β-acetoxyenones. Under similar conditions acetates are cleaved to alcohols. -(BORA, U.; LONGCHAR, M.; CHETIA, A.; KUMAR, B. S. D.; BORUAH, R. C.; SANDHU, J. S.; Tetrahedron Lett. 43 (2002) 12, 2269-2271; Org. Chem.
