S. Kobayashi et al., USE OF AN ORGANOMETALLIC REAGENT IN WATER - SC(OTF)(3)-CATALYZED ALLYLATION REACTIONS OF ALDEHYDES IN MICELLAR SYSTEMS, Chemistry Letters, (8), 1997, pp. 831-832
The Sc(OTf)(3)-catalyzed allylation reactions of aldehydes with tetraa
llyltin proceeded smoothly in micellar systems to afford the correspon
ding homoallylic alcohols in high yields. The reactions were successfu
lly carried out in the presence of a small amount of a surfactant in w
ater without using any organic solvents.
