1,3-Bifunctional Nucleophilic Allylation Reagents: Preparative Methods and Synthetic Applications

Abstract

1,3-Bifunctional nucleophilic allylation reagents play an important role in organic synthesis. In this short review, we summarize the methods for the preparation of 1,3-bifunctional reagents and their reactions with various electrophiles. Synthetic applications of these reagents in the context of complex molecule synthesis are also discussed.

• 82 As coined by Hall, the 1,3-bifunctional allylation reagents that we surveyed in this short review belong to type II double allyl­ation reagents; see: Peng, F.; Hall, D. G. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 3070. Another class of 1,3-bifunctional allylation reagents are the type I double allylation reagents. Such reagents react with a first electrophile E1 and simultaneously reveal a second allylic metal unit that can react with another electrophile E2. Due to space limitations of the present review, such reagents (type I) will be the topic of a future review
