Abstract

Abstract Reactive zinc metal can be prepared by the electrolysis of a DMF solution containing Et 4 NClO 4 with a platinum cathode and a zinc anode. The reaction of 2- bromomethyl-1, 4-dibromo-2-butene (1) with aldehydes or ketones in the presence of the electrogenarated reactive zinc (EGZn) in DMF at 0 C gave the corresponding isoprenylated alcohols (3a-3n) in good yields.
