Abstract
The first catalytic oxygenative allylic transposition of unactivated alkenes into enones has been developed using an oxoammonium salt as the catalyst. This reaction converts various tri- and trans-disubstituted alkenes into their corresponding enones with transposition of their double bonds at ambient temperature in good yields. The use of a less-hindered azaadamantane-type oxoammonium salt as the catalyst and a combination of two distinct stoichiometric oxidants, namely, iodobenzene diacetate and magnesium monoperoxyphthalate hexahydrate (MMPP⋅6 H2O) are essential to facilitate the enone formation efficiently.
