title: A domino copper-catalyzed C-O coupling-Claisen rearrangement process.
abstract: A practical method for the diastereoselective generation of two adjacent quarternary stereocenters by combining a copper-catalyzed C-O coupling reaction with a subsequent Claisen rearrangement in a one-pot domino process is described. Furthermore, an experimentally simple method for the stereoselective synthesis of a variety of different types of vinyl ethers is delineated using the same catalyst system.
