| A series of allyl esters of angelic acid (Z-2-methyl-2-butenoic acid) was prepared from several allyl alcohols. The alcohols had various alkyl vinylic substituent patterns giving rise to 3-alkyl substituted propenyl angelate esters. These esters of a conjugated acid were subject to classical Ireland-Claisen conditions. The resulting 4-pentenoic acids had one or two quaternary stereocenters depending on the alcohol used. Various techniques were used to determine the stereochemistry of the rearrangement products. |
