Cc. Smith et al., LITHIUM PERCHLORATE MEDIATED ALLYLIC SUBSTITUTION-REACTION USING A CYCLOHEXENYL BASED MODEL SYSTEM, Microchemical journal, 56(1), 1997, pp. 65-78
A methodology was developed for the direct substitution of allylic alc
ohols and acetates by alcohol nucleophiles in order to synthesize ally
lic ethers. The reaction was mediated by highly concentrated ethereal
solutions of lithium perchlorate and proceeded with high regiospecific
ity. Additionally, the methodology was extended to enable allyl ether
exchanges to occur. (C) 1997 Academic Press.
