Base-catalysed isomerization of eugenol: Solvent-free conditions and microwave activation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919308012590

Isomerization of eugenol can be efficiently performed using 2.2 mol. equiv. of KOtBu and catalytic amount of transfer agent in the absence of solvent. The best conditions (94% within 18 minutes) were obtained in a focused open-vessel Maxidigest MX 350 microwave reactor.
