REARRANGEMENTS OF SILYL-SUBSTITUTED AND STANNYL-SUBSTITUTED DIALLYL ETHERS - COMPETITION BETWEEN THE ALLYL-VINYL ETHER REARRANGEMENT AND THE [2,3] WITTIG SIGMATROPIC REARRANGEMENT
Tn. Mitchell et al., REARRANGEMENTS OF SILYL-SUBSTITUTED AND STANNYL-SUBSTITUTED DIALLYL ETHERS - COMPETITION BETWEEN THE ALLYL-VINYL ETHER REARRANGEMENT AND THE [2,3] WITTIG SIGMATROPIC REARRANGEMENT, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 492(2), 1995, pp. 191-197
Diallyl ethers containing two trimethylstannyl moieties or one triorga
nostannyl and one trimethylsilyl moiety attached to the olefinic carbo
n atoms of one allyl group can undergo either an allyl-vinyl ether rea
rrangement or a [2,3] Wittig sigmatropic rearrangement when treated wi
th a strong non-nucleophilic base. While the use of lithium diisopropy
lamide favours the Wittig rearrangement, lithium diethylamide can shif
t the course of reaction towards the allyl-vinyl ether rearrangement.
