REACTIONS OF ALLYLSILANES WITH α-CHLORO ETHERS CATALYZED BY IODOTRIMETHYLSILANE OR TRIMETHYLSILYL TRIFLUOROMETHANESULFONATE. SYNTHESIS OF HOMOALLYL ETHERS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1983.409

Iodotrimethylsilane and trimethylsilyl triflate activate selectively the C-Cl bond rather than the C-O bond of α-chloro ethers and catalyze the allylation with allylsilanes to give the corresponding homoallyl ether effectively in good yield.
