title: Catalytic ethenylation reaction of phenol using SnCl4.
abstract: [figure: see text] Ethenylation reaction of phenol with silylethyne at the o-position is catalyzed by the SnCl4-BuLi reagent. While turn over numbers (TONs) in the reactions of m- or p-substituted phenols are 3 to 4, those for o-substituted phenols are 8 to 9.
