The use of optically active compounds in the isomerisation of ethers and the interchange reaction of nitriles
Benzyl methyl ether rearranges to l-phenyl-ethanol, under the influence of Lewis bases, such as phenyl lithium. This is one of the saturated electrophilic rearrangements which are named after Wittig. An investigation of the ether rearrangement was undertaken using optically active compounds, because...
