Primary allyl alcohols are converted into allyltributylstannanes in a
one-pot operation. It entails (i) deprotonation with BuLi, (ii) sulfon
ylation with mesyl chloride, and (iii) nucleophilic substitution by Li
SnBu(3). Conversions are quantitative with isolated yields ranging fro
m 70 % to 100 %. If the starting allyl alcohol contains a stereogenic
double bond its configuration is retained.
