Abstract

The synthesis of both regioisomers of monoacylated diols has been achieved in one simple step using a Passerini reaction. We examined various substrates and reaction conditions, and the results show that the regioselectivity of the reaction is governed by a choice between five‐ and six‐membered‐ring transition states, and by different rates of acyl migration under different reaction conditions.
