Abstract

A novel and highly efficient allylation of aldehydes using allyltributyltin has been developed in aqueous medium catalyzed by β-cyclodextrin in the presence of HCl without any metal catalysts to afford the corresponding homoallylic alcohols in good yields. The β-cyclodextrin can be recovered and reused for a number of runs without significant loss of activity.
