Deep eutectic solvent-catalyzed Meyer–Schuster rearrangement of propargylic alcohols under mild and bench reaction conditions
Keyword(s):
Faster, milder, greener…better! The Meyer–Schuster rearrangement is disclosed for the first time in a deep eutectic solvent, namely FeCl3·6H2O/glycerol (3 : 1), enabling the reaction at room temperature, under air and with short reaction times.
