Abstract

The title compound (BTF) combines with isobutenyl and methallyl ethers and thioethers furnishing the same formal insertion products 5; an ion pair arising from hydride transfer is proposed as a common intermediate. Allyl ethers (and thioethers) are subject to the same reaction whereas the isomeric propenyl ethers undergo [2+2] cycloaddition with BTF. The rate constant for the reaction of ethyl methallyl ether and BTF shows only a modest dependence on solvent polarity
