title: Conjugate addition/Ireland-Claisen rearrangements of allyl fumarates: simple access to terminally differentiated succinates.
abstract: The conjugate addition of dialkylzinc reagents to allyl fumarates with subsequent Ireland-Claisen rearrangement has been accomplished yielding substituted unsymmetrical succinic acid derivatives. This one-pot reaction creates two new carbon-carbon bonds at contiguous stereogenic centers. The reaction proceeds for several alkylzinc reagents and substituted allyl fumarates. The products contain distinguishable functional handles for further manipulation.
