Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) Reduction of trihalomethylcarbinols 1 with CrCl2 affords good to excellent yields of (Z)-α-haloenol esters 2 and (Z)-β-haloenol ethers 3 through acyl or hydrogen migration, respectively. The reaction is proposed to proceed through regio- and stereoselective rearrangement of a chromium(III) Fischer carbene. (R2 = H, alkyl, aryl; X = F, Cl, Br).
