Abstract

Abstract: Ketones bearing a hetero-atom at a-position were methylenated selectively by CH2 (ZnI) 2 to give allylic alcohols; a nucleophilic attack of the zinc species was accelerated with a coordination of a hetero-atom at a-position. Key words: dimetal, methylenation, regioselective, zinc
