Tandem construction of carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen bonds in the Baylis-Hillman chemistry: Synthesis of functionalized dl-bis-allyl ethers

Abstract

Tandem coupling between acrylonitrile and aryl aldehydes under the catalytic influence of DABCO involving the construction of two carbon-carbon bonds and one carbon-oxygen bond leading to the synthesis of dl-functionalized bis-allyl ethers has been described.
