Abstract

Tertiary allylic methyl(tri-n-butylstannyl) ethers undergo transmetallation and subsequent diastereoselectve [2,3] Wittig rearrangement, wherein chirality transfer and olefin selectivity for the [2,3] sigmatropic event is mediated by a stereogenic center external to the sigmatropic framework.
