Abstract

Benzyl acetates undergo smooth deoxygenative allylation with allyltrimethylsilane in the presence of 10 mol% of molecular iodine under mild conditions to afford the corresponding allyl derivatives in excellent yields and with high selectivity. Cinnamyl alcohols also react readily with allylsilane under similar conditions. The use of molecular iodine makes this method quite simple, more convenient and cost effective.
