Sigmatropic rearrangment of unsaturated acetals. A mechanistic study of the thermal isomerization of 5-alkylidene-1,3-dioxanes

OSTI ID:4312137

The preparation and pyrolysis of 2-tert-butyl-5-ethylidene1,3-dioxane-2- d are described. A negative isotope crossover experiment and a deuterium kinetic isotopic effect are in favor of an intramolecular isomerization involving a concerted 1,5hydrogen shift. Some conclusions on the transition state are discussed. (auth)
