title: A 1,3-carbonyl shift in the platinum-catalyzed aromatization of 2-epoxy-1-(methoxyalk-2-ynyl)benzenes.
abstract: A platinum-catalyzed reaction involving new aromatization/1,3-carbonyl shift cascade of 2-epoxy-1-(methoxyalk-2-ynyl)benzenes is reported. This skeletal rearrangement is mechanistically significant because it involves a remarkable 1,3-carbonyl shift to complete the aromatization and to regenerate the catalyst.
