Vg. Andreev et al., FACILE [3,3]-SIGMATROPIC REARRANGEMENT IN THE REACTION OF ALPHA-CHLOROPERFLUOROSTYRENE WITH ALLYL ALCOHOL, Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Division of Chemical Sciences, 41(8), 1992, pp. 1509-1510
The reaction of alpha-chloroperfluorostyrene (1) with allyl alcohol in
the presence of KOH at 45-50-degrees-C leads to a mixture of the ally
l 2-pentafluorophenyl-2-chloro-4-pentenoate (2) and the product of the
addition of the starting reagents (3). Ester 2 is formed as the resul
t of a mild [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the reaction intermedia
te.
