Magnesium(II)-coordinated Claisen rearrangement: a direct approach towards ulosonic acid derivatives

The Claisen Rearrangement

Lewis Acid Mediated Claisen-Type Rearrangement of Aryl Dienyl Ethers

The Claisen rearrangement and its applications to organic synthesis have been studied for a long time.l In recent years, this rearrangement has been applied in stereocontrolled natural product synthesis2 and asymmetric i n d ~ c t i o n . ~ The term "Claisen rearrangement", which originally denoted the rearrangement of allyl aryl ethers to 0or p-allylphenols, has now been extended to analogous ...

Microwave accelerated aza-Claisen rearrangement.

A study of microwave-induced and standard thermal Overman rearrangement of selected allylic trichloroacetimidates 1a-1f, 6-8 to the corresponding acetamides 2a-2f, 9-11 is reported. The microwave-assisted rearrangement of trifluoroacetimidate 13 is also described. Using this methodology, an efficient access to versatile allylic trihaloacetamides building synthons was established.

Development of a new Lewis acid-catalyzed [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement: the allenoate-Claisen rearrangement.

A new Lewis acid-catalyzed Claisen rearrangement has been developed that allows the stereoselective construction of beta-amino-alpha,beta,epsilon,zeta-unsaturated-gamma,delta-disubstituted esters from simple allylic amines and allenoate esters. This reaction, which is contingent upon the use of Lewis acid, can be conducted with a range of metal salts (Yb(OTf)3, AlCl3, Sn(OTf)2, Cu(OTf)2, MgBr2....

The Claisen rearrangement approach to fused bicyclic medium-ring oxacycles.

The synthesis of five fused-bicyclic medium-ring lactones carrying identical ring-fusion to that in the polyether toxins is described using an enolate hydroxylation, intramolecular hydrosilation, Claisen rearrangement sequence.
