Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Mechanistic evidence suggests that the Lewis acid-promoted allylic rearrangement of α-silyloxy allylic silanes proceeds along an ionic reaction pathway involving a contact ion pair. The driving force for this transformation is alleviation of steric congestion at the allylic position of the α-silyloxy allylic silane and stabilization of πcc by hyperconjugation.
