A. Kundu et al., A NOVEL COPPER(II) TIN(II) REAGENT FOR AQUEOUS CARBONYL ALLYLATION - IN-SITU DIAGNOSTICS OF REACTIVE ORGANOMETALLICS IN WATER/, Organometallics, 16(22), 1997, pp. 4796-4799
A convenient and synthetically attractive protocol for the allylation
of aldehydes using stannous chloride and catalytic cupric chloride in
dichloromethane/water is described. In situ probing provides indirect
(NMR, CV) and direct (MS) evidence for the copper(I)-catalyzed formati
on of an allyltrihalostannane intermediate in very high concentration
in water.
