Vinylic lithium reagents 1 and 2 could be obtained by the title procedure from their chloro precursors 5 and 6 instead of the less stable corresponding bromo derivatives 3 and 4. Condensation with carbonyl compounds leads to interesting synthetic applications such as a two steps synthesis of retinal 13 from β-cyclocitral 10.

Cyclic ethyl 2-diazo-3-hydroxy carboxylates were prepared by treating ethyl diazoacetate with LDA followed by reaction with a series of cyclic ketones. Further treatment of these α-diazo-β-hydroxy esters with boron trifluoride etherate in various solvents affords an unusual array of products. Product types and ratios were found to be strongly dependent on ring size and the solvent used. The reaction proceeds by Lewis acid complexation of the alcohol functionality of the diazo hydroxy ester with BF3 etherate followed by neighboring-group participation of the diazo moiety to generate a cycloalkylidene diazonium salt. Loss of nitrogen produces a highly reactive, destabilized, linear vinyl cation. Ring expansion via a 1,2-methylene shift leads to the formation of a more stable, bent cycloalkenyl vinyl cation. A subsequent 1,2-methylene shift results in ring contraction ultimately leading to a stable allylic cation. This cation is either trapped by the solvent or else undergoes cyclization with the adjacent ester group to give a lactone. Computational studies at the 6-31G* level were performed to determine the geometry of the optimized vinyl cations. Relative energies suggest a moderate energy gain for isomerization of the initial vinyl cation V1 to the rearranged vinyl cation V2 followed by a large stabilization in energy for subsequent conversion to the allyl cation A1. Compared with isolated product distributions, the energy profiles suggest kinetically-controlled V1 → V2 → A1 migrations. Finally, the calculations suggest that in diethyl ether the carbocations may be coordinated to a molecule of solvent resulting in "protected" cationic intermediates with nonlinear geometries.
One-Flask, Regiospecific Conversions of Allylic Alcohols into Two-Carbon-Extended, Conjugated Dienoate Esters. Use of a New Sulfinyl Orthoester

Sixteen differently substituted primary and secondary allylic alcohols are shown to react with sulfinyl orthoacetate 1 at 100 deg C sequentially via a sigmatropic rearrangement and then a β-elimination of benzenesulfenic acid to form conjugated dienoate esters 5-13 in 45-95percent yields.This one-flask, intramolecular carbon-carbon bond-forming process represents a simple and convenient method for regiospecific γ-attachment of a two-carbon (ethoxycarbonyl)methylene unit via the synthetic equivalent of an SN2' process.Two examples are given in which rationally designed dienoates 20 and 24, prepared via this one-flask process and carrying a pendant alkene unit, undergo intramolecular 2+4 cycloaddition producing bicyclic cyclohexenes 21 and 25.
