Abstract
The stereoselective isomerization of unsymmetrical diallyl ethers to allyl (E)-vinyl ethers was carried out in the presence of a cationic iridium(I) c atalyst. The catalyst prepared in situ by treating [Ir(cod)(PPh2Me)(2)]PF6 with hydrogen was found to be an excellent catalyst to selectively isomeriz e the less substituted allyl group to an (E)-vinyl ether.
