Ligand-Accelerated Cadmium-catalyzed Allylation of Aldehydes and Ketones in Aqueous Media

Abstract

Cadmium perchlorate was found to catalyze allylation reactions using allyltributyltin in aqueous media very efficiently. These cadmium-catalyzed allylation reactions are accelerated by ligands such as N,N,N′,N′′,N′′-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine or 2,9-dimethylphenanthroline. This accelerated catalytic system gave allylation products of various aldehydes and ketones in high yields.

Key words

cadmium - allylation - allyltin - ligand acceleration - aqueous media
