Efficient synthesis of homoallylic alcohols/amines from allyltributylstannane and carbonyl compounds/imines using iodine as catalyst under acetic acid-water medium

This paper describes a general method for the synthesis of homoallylic alcohols and amines by nucleophilic addition reaction of allyltributylstannane to carbonyl compounds and aldimines where iodine acts as a catalyst in H2O/acetic acid (1:1) medium. Only 10 mol% of I2 is required for various organic transformations. By using this process, various homoallylic alcohols and amines are produced in good to excellent yields.

SnCl2·2H2O-mediated Barbier-type allylation: A comparative evaluation of the catalytic performance of CuI and Pd(OAc) 2

A systematic investigation has been carried out for the allylation of carbonyl compounds under SnCl2·2H2O-mediated Barbier-type conditions, using CuI and Pd(OAc)2 as catalysts. Ketones, which are not reactive under the influence of CuI, however, could be activated by using Pd(OAc)2 as a catalyst.
