a The reactions were carried out at 2 mmol scale. The yields refer to those of isolated pure<br />

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

In-mediated crotylation of 3 (Scheme 6, Table 6) in H 2 O yielded compounds 7c<br />

and 7d in a ~1:1 ratio. With Mg in ethereal solvents, practically no selectivity was<br />

obtained. The use of Sb in aqueous THF or H 2 O gave a similar diastereoselectivity, but<br />

poor yields. On the other hand, the Ga-mediated reaction in THF produced the products in<br />

poor yields even under metal activation and resulted in a modest 7c/7d selectivity. The Inmediated<br />

crotylation in [bmim][Br] proceeded with an improved diastereoselectivity for<br />

7d. Most importantly, while the Ga-mediated crotylation of 3 produced excellent<br />

selectivity for 7d, Bi-mediated crotylation of 3 in [bmim][Br] proceeded with an improved<br />

diastereoselectivity for 7c.<br />
