Jy. Zhou et al., BARBIER-TYPE ALLYLATION OF ALDEHYDES AND KETONES WITH METALLIC LEAD IN AQUEOUS-MEDIA, Synthetic communications, 27(11), 1997, pp. 1899-1906
Homoallylic alcohols can be obtained from allylation of aldehydes and
ketones with allyl bromide promoted by metallic lead. These reactions
can be carried out smoothly in aqueous media.
