Chlorotrimethylsilane-Acetonitrile System as a New Promoter for Carbonyl Allylation by Diallyldibutyltin

Abstract
Chlorotrimethylsilane combined with acetonitrile has characteristically promoted allylation of carbonyl compounds by diallyldibutyltin to produce a variety of homoallyl silyl ether in good yields, while the addition of HMPA or LiCl disturbed the allylation.
