One-Pot Consecutive Reactions Based on the Synthesis of Conjugated Enones by the Re-Catalysed Meyer-Schuster Rearrangement

Conjugated enones are one of the most used building blocks in synthetic organic chemistry[1] and are an important moiety in natural products and biologically active com- pounds. Given its high synthetic versatility, the enone system is involved in several carbon–carbon bond-forming reactions, such as cyclopropanation, Michael addition, Diels–Alder and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions, and in the conversion to other functional groups, such as allylic al- cohols, epoxides and amines.
