The Reformatsky–Claisen reaction, a new synthetically useful sigmatropic process

Abstract
Reaction of α-bromo-esters derived from allylic and acetylenic alcohols with zinc dust provides a useful synthesis of γδ-unsaturated acids, via[3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the intermediate zinc enolate, the efficiency depending upon substitution and solvent.
