Allylic PMB ethers rearranged in the presence of zeolite beta to form 4-arylbutanals or 5-arylpentanones depending on the substituent pattern of the allylic moiety. Best results were obtained with substrates carrying simple substituents in the allylic 2-position, but a couple of substrates lacking a 2-substituent also rearranged. More functionalized substituents in this position were not tolerated. A propargyl PMB ether and a homoallylic PMB ether rearranged as well, but the products were mixtures of isomeric olefins. The 4-arylbutanals 2c and 2e and the 5-arylpentanone 2j were cyclized in PPA to give naphthalene and dihydronaphthalene derivatives, respectively.
