Nickel-Catalyzed Isomerization of Homoallylic Alcohols.
Dustin D YoumansHai N TranLevi M StanleyPublished in: Organic letters (2023)
Nickel-catalyzed isomerizations of homoallylic alcohols and a bishomoallylic alcohol are presented. These isomerization reactions occur in the presence of a simple nickel catalyst that does not require addition of an exogenous ligand. The corresponding ketone products are generated in ≤98% yield.
