39. We are well aware that, in principle, the direct Meyer-Schuster rearrangement of propargylic alcohol 4a could yield the expected enone 1; however, under our conditions, a complex mixture was obtained, containing also an unidentified product, which is under investigation in our laboratories. For a recent application of the Meyer-Schuster rearrangement to the synthesis of natural products, see: Ramón, R. S.; Gaillard, S.; Slawin, A. M. Z.; Porta, A.; D'Alfonso, A.; Zanoni, G.; Nolan, S.
