Abstract

The addition of allylsilanes to aldehydes and ketones is a mild method for the preparation of homoallylic alcohols.' This reaction is usually accomplished (except for some reactive substrate$) in the presence of either a stoichiometric amount of Lewis acid3 or a catalytic amount of fluoride ion.4 Although the later method is catalytic in nature it is not regioselective with respect to allylic inversion or retenti~n.~ Trimethylsilyl tri- fluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) is a ...
