C. Chatgilialoglu et al., 2-FUNCTIONALIZED ALLYL TRIS(TRIMETHYLSILYL)SILANES AS RADICAL-BASED ALLYLATING AGENTS, Tetrahedron letters, 37(35), 1996, pp. 6387-6390
Radical allylations with 2-functionalized allyl tris(trimethylsilyl)si
lanes occur under mild conditions in good to excellent yield provided
that the radical precursor and the silane have the appropriate electro
nic pairing. These reactions offer tin-free alternatives for tansforma
tions that are currently conducted with allylstannanes. Copyright (C)
