Abstract
We have developed a cationic rhodium(I)/BINAP complex-catalyzed isomerization of secondary propargylic alcohols to alpha,beta-enones. The asymmetric variant of this reaction, a kinetic resolution of secondary propargylic alcohols, was also developed with good selectivity. The mechanistic study revealed that the isomerization proceeds through intramolecular 1,3- and 1,2-hydrogen migration pathways. [reaction: see text]Entities:
