C. Sarangi et al., THE TIN(II) CHLORIDE DIHYDRATE-MAGNESIUM SYSTEM - AN EFFICIENT METHODFOR THE ALLYLATION OF CARBONYL-COMPOUNDS, Journal of chemical research. Synopses, (10), 1994, pp. 398-399
The SnCl2.2H2O-Mg system in tetrahydrofuran induces allylation of carb
onyl compounds with allylic halides to give under mild reaction condit
ions the corresponding homoallylic alcohols in good yields.
