Superacid catalysis of the addition of allysilanes to carbonyl compounds

Abstract
The superacid TfOH2+B(OTf)4-(Tf = CF3SO2) was found to catalyse the addition of trialkylallylsilanes to aldehydes and a ketone (the Sakurai reaction) at levels of ca. 0.5 mol%; the reactions were clean, high-yielding, and regioselective with respect to allylic inversion.
