Catalyst-free allylation of 2-aminophenol–derived aldimines with allyltrichlorosilane under thermal conditions

1,2-Amino alcohol-dependent Petasis allylboration for racemic and chiral homoallylamines

Asymmetric Petasis allylboration among an aldehyde, 1,2-amino alcohol and pinacolallylboronate has been established at room temperature without any catalysts.

Tin powder-promoted allylation and cyclization of 2-(benzylideneamino)isoindoline-1,3-diones

α-Methylene-γ-lactams were synthesized from readily available N-acylhydrazones by a tin-mediated Barbier-type reaction. The method avoids the use of toxic allylstannanes and the reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions.
