Construction of vicinal 4°/3°-carbons via reductive Cope rearrangement

Abstract

Herein reported is a strategy for constructing vicinal 4°/3° carbons via reductive Cope rearrangement. Substrates have been designed which exhibit Cope rearrangement kinetic barriers in the range of ~23 kcal/mol with isothermic favorability (G ~0). These fluxional/shape-shifting molecules can be driven forward by chemoselective reduction to useful polyfunctionalized building blocks.
