A Facile Synthesis of Two Series of Multifunctional Carbon Compounds from α,α-Dihalo Ketones Using Allylsamarium Bromide

Abstract

The use of allylsamarium bromide to effect two different reactions on the common starting material, α,α-dihalo ketones, is presented. With DMF, α-halo-α-allyl aldehydes were obtained, while α-hydroxy-α-allyl aldehyde acetals were obtained in the presence of NaOMe/MeOH .

Key words

samarium - aldehydes - acetals - rearrangement - synthesis
