Abstract
The electroreduction of a catalytic amount of ZnBr2 in acetonitrile pr ovided a active Zn, able to catalyze the reductive coupling of allyl bromides and chlorides with carbonyl compounds with high regioselectiv ity. Substituted alpha-methylene gamma-lactones were obtained from fun ctionalized allyl derivatives.
