Novel Reactions of Ethylene Acetals with Silyl-Substituted Nucleophiles. A Mild and Efficient Procedure for the Synthesis of Homoallyl Alkyl Ethers and Unsymmetrical Dialkyl Ethers

Abstract

Efficient one-pot synthesis of homoallyl alkyl ethers and dialkyl ethers was performed by the allylation and reduction of ethylene acetals with allyltrimethylsilane and f-butyldimethylsilane, respectively, in the presence of alkoxytrimethylsilane.
