Application

Allyltrimethoxysilane is an allylating reagent that can be used for the allylation of carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, and imines. Homoallylic alcohols and amines are obtained via the C-C bond forming reaction. It can also be used to synthesize homoallylic α-branched amines from aromatic and aliphatic aldehyde hydrazones, and ketone hydrazones.

A general and mild catalytic allylation of carbonyl compounds, applicable to aldehydes, ketones, and imines is developed using allyltrimethoxysilane as the allylating reagent. The reaction proceeds smoothly with 1-10 mol % of CuCl and TBAT in THF at ambient temperature.

Recently, there have been some reports on the use of allyltrimethoxysilane for enantioselective allylation with various metal fluorides or a combination of chiral complex and fluoride anion. These reactions can be applied not only to aldehydes but also to ketones
