New Method for Oxidative Carbon-carbon Bond Formation by the Reaction of Allyl Ethers, 2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ) and Silyl Carbon Nucleophiles

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1987.1811

Allyl ethers are oxidized by DDQ to generate the corresponding cationic species, which in turn react with silyl carbon nucleophiles in the presence of a catalytic amount of lithium perchlorate to afford the coupled products in a one-pot procedure in good
