[formula: see text] It has been shown that alpha-diazoketones react with allylic alcohols in the presence of Rh(II) catalysts to furnish intermediate enols which subsequently undergo Claisen rearrangement to alpha-hydroxyketones. Herein we report (1) studies into the mechanism of this transformation which establish that Claisen rearrangement is neither rhodium- nor acid-catalyzed but a reaction intrinsic to the intermediate enols that proceeds at a rate governed by enol substituents (R3, R4, R5) and (2) the reaction of alpha-diazoketones with propargylic alcohols and preliminary investigations into its scope and mechanism.
