Abstract

The allylation of carbonyl compounds using various allylating reagents is very important in organic synthesis as it gives homoallylic alcohols with the formation of a new carboncarbon bond. 1 One important application of this reaction is the synthesis of δ-lactones, for example via acylation and Grubb's cyclization. 2., and The allylation reaction with tetra-allyltin has been studied mostly for aldehydes 3., , , and but rarely for ketones 4 because of the reactivity difference in ...
