Asymmetric induction in the rearrangement of monocyclic endoperoxides into γ-hydroxy-αβ-unsaturated aldehydes

Abstract
The endoperoxide obtained by addition of singlet oxygen to 2,3-bis(methylene)-7-oxanorbornane is isomerised to the chiral γ-hydroxy-αβ-unsaturated aldehyde by catalytic amounts of various natural bases with an enantiomeric excess ranging up to 46%.
