Abstract

In acetonitrile as solvent and in the presence of a simple cobalt halide as catalyst, the reduction by zinc dust of a mixture of aldehydes or ketones and allylic acetates affords the corresponding homoallylic alcohols in good yields.

Key words

allylation - homo-allylic alcohols - carbonyl copmounds - cobalt halide - catalyst
