Abstract: We report an investigation into the regioselectivity of the aromatic Claisen rearrangement within a novel asymmetric substrate that possesses an internal base meta to the aryl allyl ether position. We utilize various migratory aryl allyl ethers and aryl propargyl ethers to study how steric bulk influences the regioselectivity. Our results show that steric bulk does influence the regioselectivity of the aromatic Claisen rearrangement.
