M. Lombardo et al., The first zinc-promoted, environmentally friendly, and highly efficient acetoxyallylation of aldehydes in aqueous ammonium chloride, CHEM COMMUN, (22), 2001, pp. 2310-2311
An exceptionally mild acetoxyallylation of aldehydes in water promoted by z
inc is reported, using 3-bromo-1-acetoxyprop-1-ene as starting material; si
mple diastereoselectivity mainly depends on the nature of the aldehyde.
