BIOMIMETIC ENTRY TO ACYCLIC TERPENE SYNTHESIS. A NOVEL REARRANGEMENT OF ALLYL ETHER CATALYZED BY ORGANOALUMINUM REAGENTS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)87225-1

The intramolecular prenyltransfer reaction is accomplished by the rearrangement of allyl ethers with (2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenoxy)methylaluminum trifluoromethanesulfonate.The present method provides a simple and highly efficient synthesis of lavandulol.
