Cesium Fluoride-Mediated Claisen Rearrangements of Phenyl Propargyl Ethers: Substituent Effects of an ortho-Alkoxy Group on the Benzene Ring or Modified Propargyl Residues. -Catalytic CsF alters the rearrangement of phenyl propargyl ethers (I) in refluxing N,N-diethylaniline to yield the benzo[b]furans (II) instead of coumarins (III). On the other hand the rearrangement is not affected with propargyl ethers such as (IV) and (VII) carrying a 1,1-dimethyl or 3-ethoxycarbonyl modified residue. -(ISHIKAWA, T.; MIZUTANI, A.; MIWA, C.; OKU, Y.; KOMANO, N.; TAKAMI, A.; WATANABE, T.; Heterocycles
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
