Abstract

The use of allyltin, allylzinc and allylindium in the allylation of carbonyl compounds are facile methods for the syntheses of homoallylic alcohols. These water-stable complexes frequently allow for reaction conditions that are not only mild, but also permit the dispensing of organic solvents as reaction media. These synthesis methodologies are progressively being developed for stereoselective carbon-carbon bond formations for the purpose of assembling complex natural products.
