Abstract

The paper presents a simple synthesis of substituted propargyl vinyl ethers and their subsequent thermally-initiated Claisen rearrangement leading to various 3-substituted homoallenyl aldehydes. Several methods, including Sonogashira coupling, base-promoted substitution on the triple bond by sodium amide or butyllithium, and the preparation of substituted propargyl alcohols, were used in the initial step. Phosphate-protected homoallenyl aldehyde hydrazone derivatives were synthesised and fully characterised. The stereochemistry of 9-anthracene carbaldehyde hydrazone, which, surprisingly, afforded both cis and trans isomers, was established using X-ray analysis.
