title: Reductive olefination of aldehydes via chromium Brook rearrangement.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The combination of CrCl(2) and silyl chlorides converts aryl and conjugated aldehydes into olefinic adducts in good to excellent yields. When constrained by structural features, the intermediate vic-diol can be isolated. Available data are consistent with a novel chromium Brook rearrangement.
