Stereospecific 1,3-H transfer of indenols proceeds via persistent ion-pairs anchored by NH··· π interactions
The base-catalyzed rearrangement of arylindenols is a rare example of a suprafacial [1,3]-hydrogen atom transfer. The mechanism has been proposed to proceed via sequential [1,5]-sigmatropic shifts, which occur in a selective sense and avoid an achiral intermediate. A computational analysis using qua...
