摘要
A general and efficient procedure for the stereoselective synthesis of (E)-(1-propenyl)phenyl esters from readily accessible allylphenols has been developed. The process involves a two-step sequence consisting of the initial acylation of the allylphenols with an acid chloride, followed by catalytic C=C bond isomerization in the resulting allylphenyl esters. The latter step was performed in methanol at 80 degrees C using catalytic amounts (0.5 mol %) of the commercially available bis(allyl)-ruthenium(IV) dimer [{RuCl(mu-Cl)(eta(3):eta(3)-C10H16)}(2)] (C10H16=2,7-dimethylocta-2,6-diene-1,8-diyl). Reactions proceeded in high yields (68-93%) and short times (4-9 h) with complete E-selectivity. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
