Copper‐Catalyzed Arylative Meyer–Schuster Rearrangement of Propargylic Alcohols to Complex Enones Using Diaryliodonium Salts

Abstract

Free choice: A copper-catalyzed arylative Meyer–Schuster rearrangement is described. The reaction is compatible with a range of substituted propargylic alcohols and diaryliodonium salts and delivers complex trisubstituted enone products selectively as the E isomers.
