Significance
A new stereoselective alkylation of allylic alcohols by trapping of the presumed organometallic intermediates with suitable electrophiles has been disclosed. This titanium-mediated reaction proceeds in an SN2′ manner and uses EtMgBr as alkylation reagent and ClTi(Oi-Pr)3 as scavenger for magnesium alkoxides.
