An acyloin-type rearrangement is an acid-catalyzed reorganization of α-hydroxy ketones (13.31), also known as acyloins (Scheme 13.14). These acid-catalyzed [1,2]-alkyl migration reactions also can involve other types of molecules, such as glycols (pinacol rearrangement), α-diketones (benzil–...
This result, along with a previous study, establishes the first examples of the carbon analogue of the acyloin rearrangement of alicyclic systems.doi:http://dx.doi.org/Nick Henry Werstiuk, , Gwen Irene Wade, and , Peter John Joseph Martin...
