Rhenium-catalyzed stereoselective transposition of allylic alcohols is reported. In the presence of 1 mol% of Re<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>, (<i>E</i>)- or (<i>Z</i>)-δ-hydroxymethyl-<i>anti</i>-homoallylic alcohols were converted into the acetals of 2-methyl-1,3-<i>syn</i>-diols with excellent diastereoselectivities. 1,3-<i>syn</i>-Diol acetals can also be synthesized from (<i>E</i>)-δ-hydroxymethyl-<i>syn</i>-homoallylic alcohols. ...[more]
