A. Takuwa et al., Allylsilylation and stannylation of 1,2-diketones using bifunctional allylsilane-allylstannane reagents via photoinduced electron transfer reaction, CHEM COMMUN, (19), 1999, pp. 1963-1964
Bifunctional allylsilane-allylstannane and allylstannane-allylstannane reag
ents react photochemically with 1,2-diketones to give alpha-ketohomoallyl a
lcohols having an allylsilane moiety and alpha-ketohomoally alcohols having
an allylstannane moiety respectively in excellent yields, and the remainin
g allylstannane moiety further reacts effectively with another diketone in
the presence of Mg(ClO4)(2) to afford a bis-alpha-ketohomoallyl alcohol.
