| A series of esters prepared from appropriately substituted allyl alcohols and á-chiral carboxylic acids was prepared and subject to Ireland-Claisen rearrangement. The allyl alcohols had various C-3 substitution patterns that after rearrangement led to 4-pentenoic acids having vicinal quaternary stereocenters. An attempt was made to correlate the size of the alcohol substituents with possible transition states leading to observed stereochemistry. |
