suited for the Barbier type reactions. Also the metal mediated allylation reactions of achiral<br />

aldehydes and ketones were most efficient in [bmim][Br] (Chapter II), and hence this<br />

was choosen as RTIL for carrying out allylation reactions with the chiral aldehyde 1.<br />

isomers. c The isomeric ratios were determined from the isolated yields. d NR: no reaction.<br />

The stereochemical outcome of the metal mediated allylation of 1 was found to be<br />

highly dependent on the metal, as well as on the reaction media. In general, for all the<br />

metals, reactions could be accomplished in [bmim][Br] with stoichiometric amount of the<br />

metal and allyl bromide in a much lesser time with appreciably higher yields of the<br />

products (entries 3, 6 and 9, Table III.2.1). In H 2 O, even after using activators, the yields<br />
