Abstract

ABSTRACT A protocol for one-pot Claisen rearrangement with n-butyl vinyl ether is described. Upon heating allylic alcohols with excess n-butyl vinyl ether with catalytic amount of Hg (OAc) 2 and NaOAc, Claisen rearrangement takes place through in situ formation of the requisite allyl vinyl ether.
