Facile one-pot transformation of carboxylic acid chlorides into 2-substituted allyl alcohols

Abstract
The reaction of carboxylic acid chlorides (1) with chloromethyl-lithium generated in situ(1 : 2 molar ratio) in the presence of lithium iodide leads, after hydrolysis, to the corresponding homologated 2-substituted allyl alcohols (2).
