Decarboxylative claisen rearrangement reactions of allylic tosylmalonate esters

摘要

Two different combinations of silylating agent and base are used for one-pot [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement-decarboxylation reactions of tosylmalonic mono(allylic) esters under mild conditions, providing the products of formal regiospecific allylation of methyl tosylacetate at the more substituted allylic terminus.
