ChemInform Abstract
The key step in the synthesis of the yellow pigment wasabidienone A (VII) is the rearrangement of an acyl group from carbon to the β-hydroxy oxygen of the cyclohexadienone (V). This novel type of reaction is extended to other cyclohexadienones [cf. (VIII), 10 examples] with low to excellent result.
