Ns. Nudelman et C. Carro, Formation of C-C bonds by coupling of alkyl-Sn(IV) to allyl halides: effect of Cu(I) catalysis, AN AS QUIM, 86(3-6), 1998, pp. 171-179
The effect of Cu(I) catalyst on the coupling of several substituted tributy
lorganostannanes with allyl halides was studied. Several parameters were ex
amined such as: solvent, temperature, reaction time and concentration of th
e catalyst The results show that CuCl could be an effective catalyst and th
e optimum reaction conditions are: THF, 10 % (mol) of CuCl, 55 degrees C an
d 20 hs, of reaction. The presence of an heteroatom (O preferred to S) on t
he alpha-C was found to be essential for the reaction to occur under those
conditions.
