Amberlist-15: An efficient catalyst for allylation of aldehydes with allyltributylstannane.

ABSTRACT

A variety of aldehydes undergo smooth nucleophilic addition with allyltributyl stannane in the presence of solid acid catalyst amberlist-15 in acetonitrile solvent. The reaction conditions were very mild and the corresponding products of homoallylic alcohols were obtained in excellent yields.
