Abstract

Abstract: The first direct preparation of allylbarium reagents by reaction of in situ generated reactive barium with various allylic chlorides and their new and unexpected selective allylation reactions with carbonyl compounds are disclosed. Highly reactive barium was readily prepared by the reduction of barium iodide with 2 equiv of lithium biphenylide in dry THF at room temperature. Avariety of carbonyl compounds reacted with barium reagents ...
