Application

Allyl bromide can be used as a reagent to prepare:
  • Allyl ketones by Barbier-type allylation of various nitriles in the presence of Lewis acid.
  • Homoallylic alcohols by reacting with aldehydes or ketones using zinc dust as a catalyst.
  • 1,5-hexadiene by reductive C-C bond coupling using silver hydride cluster.
