Carbon-carbon bond formation reaction promoted by cadmium in aqueous media

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397910008087264

Promoted by metallic cadmium allylilic and propargyl bromides react smoothly with aldehydes in aqueous DMF to give homoallylic and homopropargyl alcohols in moderate to good yields. It can also promote pinacol coupling of aromatic aldehydes. The metallic cadmium is produced in situ by the reduction of CdCl₂ · H₂O with samarium metal.
