Sunlamp irradiation of methyl 2-iodo-3,3-dimethyl-4-pentenoate (2c) induces isomerization to an equilibrium mixture rich (13/1) in methyl 3-iodo-3-methyl-2-vinylbutanoate (3c). Allylations of 2c with allyl sulfides and stannanes produce mixtures of rearranged (9; 6-substituted 3-methoxycarbonyl-4,4-dimethyl-1,6-heptadienes) or unrearranged (8; 6-substituted 4-methoxycarbonyl-3,3-dimethyl-1,6- heptadienes) allylation products.
