Microwave-assisted allylation of acetals with allyltrimethylsilane in the presence of CuBr.
We describe the first synthesis of homoallyl ethers from acetals and allyltrimethylsilane using microwave heating and CuBr as a promoter. This method works best for aromatic acetals, giving the corresponding homoallyl ethers in good to quantitative yield.
