title: Domino alkene-isomerization-Claisen rearrangement strategy to substituted allylsilanes.
abstract: A one-pot isomerization-Claisen protocol has been developed for the synthesis of highly substituted allylsilanes. Monosilylated divinyl ethers can be isomerized using a cationic iridium(I) catalyst followed by a thermal Claisen rearrangement to provide the allylsilanes in excellent yields and diastereoselectivities.
