Thermal Claisen rearrangement of aryl allenylmethyl ethers: synthesis of 2-(o-hydroxyaryl)buta-1,3-dienes and 4-methyl-2H-1-benzopyrans
Abstract
Thermal Claisen rearrangement of aryl allenylmethyl ethers in diethylene glycol afforded 2-(o-hydroxyaryl)buta-1,3-dienes and 4-methyl-2H-1-benzopyrans in good yield.
