IPy 2 BF 4 ‐Mediated Rearrangements of 1,2‐Difunctionalized Compounds and Olefins

Abstract Acetal derivatives are easily obtained from 1,2‐difunctionalized compounds by a new reaction mediated by IPy 2 BF 4 with a mechanism based on a 1,2‐migration of aryl or alkyl groups. A new oxidative rearrangement reaction of olefins is also described. Moreover, when this metal‐free protocol...

Description
Summary:Abstract Acetal derivatives are easily obtained from 1,2‐difunctionalized compounds by a new reaction mediated by IPy 2 BF 4 with a mechanism based on a 1,2‐migration of aryl or alkyl groups. A new oxidative rearrangement reaction of olefins is also described. Moreover, when this metal‐free protocol is applied to cyclic olefins, interesting ring‐contraction reactions are observed. The new methodologies described here are a clean and efficient alternative to known strategies that make use of potentially toxic metallic complexes.
