Abstract
An efficient protocol for the 1,3-transposition of allylic alcohols has been developed. The method is based on the pretransformation of allylic alcohols into the corresponding epoxy mesylates, followed by the reductive elimination of the resulting epoxy mesylates by using lithium naphthalenide (LN) as a reducing agent.
Key words
allylic alcohols - 1,3-transposition - epoxy mesylates - reductive elimination - lithium naphthalenide

Typical Procedure for the Reductive Elimination of Epoxy Mesylates : A stock solution of LN
[11 1a (580 mg, 2.48 mmol) in anhyd THF (5 mL) at -25 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting dark mixture was stirred at -25 °C for 10 min, then was quenched with H2 O (10 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (2 × 20 mL). The combined extracts were washed with sat. aq NaCl (10 mL), dried with Na2 SO4 and concentrated. Purification by chromatography on silica gel (hexane; EtOAc-hexane, 1:10) afforded 1,5,5-trimethyl-cyclohex-2-enol (2a ) as a viscous oil (291 mg, 84%). IR (KBr): 3490, 1675 cm-1 . 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3 ): δ = 5.66 (dt, J = 1.5, 9.9 Hz, 1 H), 5.69 (d, J = 9.9 Hz, 1 H), 1.79 (dd, J = 1.5, 15.1 Hz, 1 H), 1.77 (dd, J = 1.5, 15.1 Hz, 1 H), 1.64 (d, J = 14.0 Hz, 1 H), 1.53 (d, J = 14.0 Hz, 1 H), 1.24 (s, 3 H), 1.02 (s, 3 H), 0.93 (s, 3 H). 13 C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3 ): δ = 132.4, 126.9, 68.2, 50.4, 38.9, 31.0, 30.9, 29.8, 27.6.
