Reaction of 2-Methoxyethyl Hemiacetals with Allylsilanes in the Presence of Titanium Tetrachloride: Regioselective C-O Bond Cleavage of the Unsymmetrical Acetals

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00133a058

Reaction of 2-methoxyethyl hemiacetals with allylsilanes in the presence of titanium tetrachloride gave the corresponding homoallyl ethers in good yields by the regioselective C-O bond cleavage of the hemiacetals.A new carbon homologative cyclization was
