Abstract

In presence of catalytic Pd(0) or Pt(II), a reagent combination of SnCl 2 -LiOH promotes the reaction of organic halides and epoxides in dichloromethane leading to the regioselective formation of corresponding homoallyl and homopropargyl alcohols in good yields. This 2-carbon extension strategy adds to the repertoire of Barbier reactions via metal salts and reinforces views on the enhanced reactivity of organotin having -OH pendant.
