Abstract

The discovery and development of new catalytic methods for efficient CÀC bond formations is one of the most important tasks in synthetic organic chemistry.[1] In this context, the allylation of ketones [2] is among the most useful and challenging transformations in organic synthesis, as the resulting tertiary homoallylic alcohols have proved to be highly versatile intermediates and synthetic building blocks.[3] Typical protocols for the allylation of ...
