Abstract
ZIt was found that, in the presence of TiCl4,1-trimethylsiloxy-1,3-butadiene (II) reacts with acetals(I) to give δ-alkoxy-δ,β-unsaturated aldehydes in good yields. This reaction provides a novel method for the introduction of–CH2–CH=CH-CHO unit to an electrophile as acetal activated by TiCl4.
