Abstract

A detail study on the Eu(fod)3-catalyzed rearrangement of allylic esters was described. A significant effect of the substituents at the allylic backbone was observed. The migrating tendency of the alkoxyacetates was established in the order of p-CF3C6H4CH2OCH2CO2 > MeOCH2CO2 > PhCH2OCH2CO2 > p-MeOC6H4CH2OCH2CO2.
