Some representative Claisen rearrangements are shown in Scheme 6.14. Entry 1 illustrates the application of the Claisen rearrangement in the introduction of a substituent at the junction of two six-membered rings. Introduction of a substituent at this type of position is frequently necessary in the synthesis of steroids and terpenes. In Entry 2, formation and rearrangement of a 2-propenyl ether leads to formation of a methyl ketone. Entry 3 illustrates the use of 3-methoxyisoprene to form the allylic ether. The rearrangement of this type of ether leads to introduction of isoprene structural units into the reaction product. Entry 4 involves an allylic ether prepared by O-alkylation of a (3-keto enolate. Entry 5 was used in the course of synthesis of a diterpene lactone. Entry 6 is a case in which PdCl2 catalyzes both the formation and rearrangement of the reactant. 

A methylenation of cyclic carbonates such as 6/4-132 using dimethyltitanocene to give a ketene acetal, followed by a subsequent Claisen rearrangement, allowed the synthesis of medium-ring lactones such as 6/4-133 in good yields these are otherwise difficult to obtain. In this transformation, 6/4-133 is formed as a l l-mix-ture of the two atropisomers 6/4-133a and 6/4-133b (Scheme 6/4.33). The substrate... 

This is an application of Claisen rearrangement and introduces a substituent at the angular position at the junction of two six membered rings. This type of introduction becomes necessary in the synthesis of steroids and terpenes. 

A review of Claisen rearrangements in aqueous solution has appeared. The synthesis of natural products utilizing tandem Diels-Alder additions with sigmatropic rearrangement processes has been reviewed, and a brief review of the regioselective synthesis of coumarins, quinolones and thiocoumarins with 3,4-fused pyran or furan ring systems by the Claisen rearrangement has been presented. ...
