Abstract
Alkenyl Fischer carbene complexes with an isopropoxy group on the carbene carbon will react with ketene acetals by 1,4-addition to give a zwitterionic intermediate, which undergoes subsequent internal isopropoxide transfer to generate a vinylidene complex. Either a hydrogen or phenyl group on the vinylidene carbon will undergo a formal 1,2-migration to give 4-pentynoate esters after hydrolysis of the intermediate orthoester.
