Halogenative Allylation and Reduction of Aromatic Acetals by Double Substitution of Alkoxyl Groups in Acetal

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.64.1410

In the presence of excessive amount of acetyl halide along with a catalytic amount of tin(II) halide, aromatic acetals react with allyltrimethylsilane or triethylsilane to give α-allylbenzyl halides or benzyl halides, respectively, in good to excellent yields.
