Abstract
An efficient remote isomerization of aromatic and aliphatic alkenyl alcohols into ketones is catalyzed by a commercially available catalyst and ligand ([RhCl(cod)]2 and Xantphos). This process features high efficiency, low catalyst loading, good functional group tolerance, and a broad substrate scope.
