The allylation of acylsilanes with tetraallyltin in the presence of ca
talytic amounts of Sc(OTf)(3) proceeded smoothly to afford the silylat
ed homoallylic alcohols in good yields. Subsequent protiodesilylation
gave the formal adducts of the corresponding aldehydes. The homochiral
acylsilane 1l gave a reversal of asymmetric induction in the Sc(OTf)(
3) catalyzed allylation and in the Sakurai reaction. (C) 1998 Elsevier
