Various protocols have been developed for allylation of carbonyls. 58<br />

Amongst<br />

these, the Barbier type protocol is convenient since the reactions can be carried out without<br />

the need to isolate the active allyl-metal species responsible for allylation. 59a Currently,<br />

considerable attention is given to perform the reaction in “green solvents” viz. H 2 O 59b-d and<br />

room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) 59e from environmental concerns.<br />

Ever since Luche et al. used Zn metal in moist THF with aqueous saturated NH 4 Cl<br />

for allylation, 60 other metals such as Mn, Sn, In, Ga, etc. have also been explored for this<br />

purpose. Li et al. studied the Mn mediated allylation of aromatic aldehydes in presence of<br />

catalytic amount of Cu metal. 61a Sn has also been used as a metal of choice for carrying out<br />

allylation reactions in THF, H 2 O and RTILs. 61b-h Likewise, preformed allyltin 62a,b and<br />

crotyltin 62c reagents have also been successfully employed for this reaction. For example,<br />

the crotyl stannane 50 was used for diastereoselective crotylation of benzaldehyde in the<br />

presence of BF 3 .Et 2 O (Scheme II.2.2). 62d<br />

Other metals viz. Cd, 63a Bi with KF as metal activator 63b and Sb 63c have also been<br />

utilized for the allyaltion of carbonyls. Of late, In metal, belonging to group 13 is being<br />

used extensively for this reaction. 64 The pioneering work of Araki et al. showed 65a that<br />

even α,β-unsaturated aldehydes could be chemoselectively allylated in a 1,2-fashion using<br />
