Allylation of a variety of quinones with allyl(trifluoro)silanes takes place with high regioselectivity in the presence of FeCl3·6H2O, giving allylquinones in good yields. This method was used to synthesize biologically active isoprenoid quinones such as plastoquinone-1 and vitamin K1.
Allylation of Quinones with Allyltin Reagents

Lewis acid (BF3) catalyzed allylation of quinones with allyl- (2a), 2-methyl-2-propenyl- (2b), trans-2-butenyl- (2c,d), 3-methyl-2-butenyl- (2e,f), and trans-cinnamyltrialkyltin (2g) gives the corresponding allylhydroquinones with high regioselectivity.Vitamin K2(5) (7) and coenzyme Q1 (9) were prepared in yields of 78 and 75percent, respectively.These reactions appear to proceed through allylquinol intermediates which undergo rearrangement under the influence of BF3.The success of this synthesis of vitamin K2(5) and coenzyme Q1 depends on the fact that the reaction of 3-methyl-2-butenyltin with quinones occurs at the α carbon of the allylic system.
