Pentaco-ordinate silicon compounds in synthesis: regiospecific allylation of aldehydes by use of triethylammonium bis(pyrocatecholato)allylsilicates

Abstract
The title compounds, readily prepared from allytrimethoxysilane, pyrocatechol, and triethylamine, react with aldehydes regiospecifically and chemoselectively without catalyst under mild conditions: the allylation takes place even in protic solvents such as ethanol.
