Abstract

Abstract Silicomolybdic acid that is supported on silica gel (50 wt%) efficiently catalyzes the high-yielding Hosomi–Sakurai allylation of carbonyl compounds by allyltrimethylsilane in the presence of benzyl alcohol. The reaction rates of inactive substrates and the yields were greatly increased when preformed acetals were used as substrates.
