Abstract
The Claisen rearrangement of 3-oxy-2-allyloxyindoles through
base-induced enolization of 2-allyloxyindolin-3-ones was investigated.
This rearrangement reaction proceeded smoothly at low temperature
and showed intriguing diastereoselectivity that did not depend on
the initial olefin geometry.
Key words
diastereoselectivity - heterocycles - indoles - rearrangement - solvent effects

<A NAME="RF10310SS-14">14</A> Generally, α-allyloxy ketones
undergo [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement under basic
conditions. In contrast, it is interesting to note that our reaction
occurs with [3,3]-Claisen rearrangement via enolate
anion driven by aromatization stabilization. See also:
