Abstract
γ-Adducts of homoallylic alcohols were converted to the corresponding α-adducts by an acid-catalyzed allyl-transfer reaction. In the allyl-transfer reaction, anti- and syn-γ-adducts gave E- and Z-α-adducts, respectively, and the optical purity was transferred to the α-adducts This suggests that the allyl-transfer reaction proceeds stereoselectively via a six-membered cyclic transition state.
