title: Application of the semi-pinacol rearrangement towards the generation of alkenyl-substituted quaternary carbon centres.
abstract: The semi-pinacol rearrangement has been carried out on 2-methyl-2,3-epoxy-cyclopentanone derivatives, generating alkenyl-substituted quaternary carbon centred aldols with a defined relative stereochemistry.
