The first example of formylation of allylzinc reagents using S-phenyl thioformate is presented. The reaction proceeded under mild conditions without any transition-metal catalyst, forming quaternary carbon centers with reactive functionalities, such as formyl and vinyl groups. Moreover, Barbier-type formylation of an allylic bromide with a sterically demanding thioformate was achieved. As a preliminary result, asymmetric formylation was conducted using a menthol-derived chiral thioformate.
