Abstract

Promoted by a catalytic amount of cesium hydroxide monohydrate, unsymmetrical bis-allyl ethers consisting of an E-allylic unit and a terminal allylic unit were formed via dimerization of Baylis-Hillman adducts in moderate to good yields at room temperature.

Key words

cesium hydroxide monohydrate - unsymmetrical bis-allyl ethers - Baylis-Hillman adduct - stereoselectivity - dimerization

Typical Experimental Procedure. In a 25-mL flask was charged with CsOH·H2O (50 mg, 0.3 mmol) and THF (10 mL). The suspension was stirred at r.t. for 10 min. The Baylis-Hillman adduct 1 (1 mmol) was added to the flask and stirred at r.t. for 0.5-1 h. The reaction mixture was poured into Et2O (50 mL), washed with H2O (2 × 25 mL) and brine (35 mL). The combined ethereal layers were dried over MgSO4. After evaporation of solvent the residue was purified by chromatography using cyclohexane-EtOAc (6:1) as eluent.
