The allyl ether as a protecting group in carbohydrate chemistry. Isomerisations with tristriphenylphosphinerhodium(I) chloride
Abstract
The isomerisations of allyl, 2-methylallyl, and but-2-enyl groups by tristriphenylphosphinerhodium(I) chloride are compared with the reactions of these groups with potassium t-butoxide in dimethyl sulphoxide.
