NaH mediated isomerisation–allylation reaction of 1,3-substituted propenols†
Abstract
A base mediated isomerisation–allylation protocol of 1,3-disubstituted propenols has been established. The use of diaryl and aryl-silyl substrates is reported alongside the use of substituted allyl bromides. Mechanistic experiments have also been conducted to elucidate the reaction pathway.
