Methods for Vinyl Ether Synthesis
Publication History
Publication Date:
12 July 2010 (online)
Abstract
Deceptively simple as the structure may appear, there is no single general method by which to synthesize the vinyl (enol) ether functionality. However, there exists a diverse array of complementary methods by which this functionality has been achieved. This review presents the scope and limitations of these methods according to reaction type, specifically via ether modifications, elimination reactions, carbonyl olefinations, alcohol additions and carbon-oxygen coupling reactions.
