Abstract

Abstract In the presence of a catalytic amount of antimony(V) chloride or antimony(V) salt generated from antimony(V) chloride and silver hexafluoroantimonate, the pinacol rearrangement of several 1,2-diols or their trimethylsilyl ethers proceeds smoothly to give the corresponding ketones in good yields.
