Abstract

Two base-mediated cascade rearrangement reactions of diallyl ethers lead to selective [2,3]-Wittig-oxy-Cope and isomerization-Claisen rearrangements. Both diaryl and arylsilyl-substituted 1,3-substituted propenyl substrates were examined, and each exhibits unique reactivity and different reaction pathways. The role of the base and solvent was key to the reactivity and selectivity observed.
