We coined the term 1,2-metallate rearrangement to describe a large class of reactions involving nucleophlic displacement reactions of electrophilic carbenoids (see ref. 1).

Compounds 17a and 17b were converted into the corresponding methyl ethers 18a and 18b and their structures determined by stereoselective synthesis.
