Abstract
Under catalysis of Pd(OAc) 2-(P- n-Bu) 3, Et 2Zn promotes a variety of allyl alcohols to undergo nucleophilic allylation of aliphatic aldehydes and ketones at room temperature and provides homoallyl alcohols in 60–90 and ca. 60% isolated yield, respectively. The reaction is irreversible and kinetically controlled, and unique regio- and stereoselectivities observed for the allylation with unsymmetrically substituted allyl alcohols are discussed.
