Abstract

The carbonyl group can promote bridgehead a-metalation as well as 8-and even y- deprotonations. Upon treatment with base under classical homoenolizationl conditions (eg, t- BuOK/t-BuOH (D), 185-250" C), many nonenolizable ketones undergo H/D exchange, and in some cases rearrangement, via these pathways2 Extensive studies have provided a wealth of mechanistic data, but only a few preparatively useful examples have emerged. 3 More ...
