The reaction conditions for the rearrangement of p-methoxybenzyl allyl ether 1 have been investigated with respect to catalysts and solvents. Zeolite beta was the best catalyst but zeolite Y and mordenite were also effective. The Lewis acids BF3 . OEt2, (iPrO)(2)TiCl2, and AlMe2Cl induced the rearrangment but were considerably less efficient than the solid catalysts. Protic acids were not very useful owing to the formation of too many products. Among the solvents tested dichloromethane and 1,1,2-trichloroethane were the most useful even though the rearrangement took place in several other solvents. Interestingly, 1 rearranged spontaneously on dissolution in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol (HFP).
