The mechanism for the novel zeolite β catalyzed rearrangement of alkoxybenzyl allyl ethers to aldehydes and ketones has been investigated by use of cross reactions and deuterium labeling. The reaction is mainly intramolecular and may be described as a nucleophilic attack of the double bond on the electrophilic benzylic carbon of the ether-Lewis acid complex, followed by a 1,2-hydride (or alkyl) migration.
