Catalyst and Solvent Free Allylation of aldehyde with allyltributylstannane under microwave irradiation

Pranjal P Bora, H Atoholi Sema

Abstract

In contrast to widely reported Lewis acid catalyzed allylation of aldehydes with allyltributylstannane, it is observed that aldehydes can generate homoallylic alcohols in excellent yields with allyltributylstannane upon irradiation with microwave without any acid catalyst or solvent.
