Lanthanide(III)-catalyzed aryl-Claisen rearrangement of substrates bearing halo-substituted allyl groups, specifically 2-bromoallyl aryl ethers, afford ortho -2-bromoallylphenols. Aryl ether substrates were synthesized from brominated allylic alcohols via Mitsunobu reaction, Cu(II)-catalyzed arylation using potassium aryltrifluoroborate salts, or S N Ar reaction. Aryl-Claisen rearrangements proceeded in moderate to excellent yields using Eu(III) catalysis. The alkenylbromide functionality remains intact, illustrating the compatibility of synthetically important alkenylhalides during C-O/C-C σ-bond migration processes. Subsequent derivatization of the ortho -2-bromoallylphenol products through O-alkylation or C-arylation/alkenylation via Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling demonstrate the potential to access densely-functionalized molecules.
