Treatment of the 83%‐ trans ‐ 13 CH 3 ‐labelled 1,6‐dienoate 7 with Et 2 AlCl at–78° provided in high yield the ene product 9 containing 83% 13 C localized in the olefinic C(8)‐methylene group. Accordingly, H‐transfer occurs exclusively from the trans ‐methyl group of 7 , consistent with a concerted ene process 7 9 thereby ruling out an intermediate cation 8 ( Scheme 4 ).
