ChemInform Abstract: Isocyclic Allylsilanes: An Efficient One-Pot Synthesis of Allylic Hydroxymethyl Methylenecycloalkane Building Blocks by a Controlled H- ene/Protodesilylation Sequence Using Two Different Lewis Acids

An efficient one-pot synthesis of useful allylic hydroxymethyl methylenecycloalkane building blocks was achieved by a controlled H-ene / protodesilylation sequence using two different Lewis acids (Me2AlCl / SnCl4) and starting from readily available isocyclic allylsilanes.
