Cation radical-induced Claisen rearrangement of aryl allenylmethyl ethers
Abstract
Treatment of aryl allenylmethyl ethers with tris(4-bromophenyl)aminium hexachloroantimonate in acetonitrile at room temperature induces a facile cation radical induced Claisen rearrangement to yield 2-(o-hydroxyaryl)buta-1,3-dienes.
