Significance

Skeletal rearrangements, akin to the ones described in this work, are valuable tools in the construction of complex carbon frameworks (see Review below). This report presents a more thorough ­investigation of the steric and stereoelectronic effects governing the selectivity of the Prins-pinacol rearrangement previously examined by the same group (Org. Lett. 2004, 6, 3853).
