Allylation of Unactivated Ketones by Tetraallyltin Accelerated by Phenol. Application to Asymmetric Allylation Using a Tetraallyltin-BINOL System

Abstract
The tetraallyltin-phenol system was mild and effective for allylation of unactivated ketones, giving tertiary alcohols in high yields. The asymmetric allylation was achieved by a tetraallyltin-homochiral BINOL (1,1′-bi-2-naphthol) system. The addition of methanol raised the enantioselectivity to afford the tertiary homoallylic alcohol up to 60% ee.
