Silver triflate catalyzed cyclopropyl carbinol rearrangement for benzo[b]oxepine and 2H-chromene synthesis
An efficient AgOTf-catalyzed (TfO = trifluoromethanesulfonate) cyclopropyl carbinol rearrangement for the synthesis of benzo[b]oxepines and 2H-chromenes is reported by starting from 2-[cyclopropyl(hydroxy)methyl]phenols. The reactions proved to be general in scope and furnished a range of the corres...
