Abstract

Abstract: a, a-Diisopropylhomoallylic alcohols react with tin (II) chloride and NCS in CH2Cl2 at–40 C to–60 ºC to produce allylic tins and diisopropyl ketone, and the allylic tins in situ cause nucleophilic addition to aldehydes to afford a-substituted homoallylic alcohols. Key words: nucleophilic additions, allylations, organometallic reagents, allylic tins, homoallylic alcohols
