Regioselective control of the Claisen rearrangement of 7-MEM-5-prenyl chrys
in was achieved by microwave irradiation. The nature of the products was in
fluenced by the irradiation power and the type of solvent. Irradiation at 7
50 W in N,N-diethylaniline specifically yielded the 8-(3,3-dimethylallyl) p
ara-rearranged product while refluxing in N,N-diethylbutylamine gave select
ive access to the 6-(1,1-dimethylallyl) ortho-rearranged compound. (C) 2001
