Novel carbon–carbon bond formation by means of a rhodium acetate-catalysed reaction of γ,δ-unsaturated diazoketone and its application to the synthesis of 4-epi-isovalerenenol

Abstract
Rhodium acetate-catalysed decomposition of a γ,δ-unsaturated diazoketone gives novel carboncarbon bond formation, a method used to synthesise 4-epi-isovalerenenol.
