How to carry out this transformation?
I was thinking to just treat it with a base under elevated temperature and hope for the best.
Although the presence of the tertiary carboanion intermediate makes me a bit uneasy.
Is it feasible considering the release of strain from that three membered ring?
Edit: actually the mechanism would be rather concerted capture of a proton, and the base less nucleophilic... Still, could it be carried out in principle?
