Fig. III.1.4. 13 C NMR spectrum of 68b<br />

Due to large values of ΔE 0 Zn-Cu (1.098 V), reduction of Cu(II) by Zn was highly<br />

exothermic, requiring the reaction mixture to be cooled (0 o C) during the addition of Zn<br />

dust. In comparison, the reduction of Co(II) was slow. In general, the Co-mediated<br />

reactions required longer time to obtain good yield. Interestingly, the Fe-mediated reaction<br />

was complete within few minutes. In view of the heterogeneity of the reaction mixtures,<br />

the metal salts and Zn dust were used in excess. To compensate for the evaporative loss of<br />

the volatile allyl bromide, it was also used in excess.<br />

Different allylic bromides with varied γ-substitutions (viz. CH 3 , C 6 H 13 and<br />

CH 2 OTBDPS) have been reacted with 1, and these are discussed in the following section.<br />
