title: On the [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of allylic nitro compounds.
abstract: Allylic nitro compounds undergo relatively clean [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement upon heating in refluxing 1,2-dichlorobenzene in the presence of DABCO to give the corresponding allylic alcohols via the intermediate allylic nitrite. [reaction: see text]
