A low valent chromium reagent is generated from chromium(III) chloride and a half mol of lithium aluminum hydride in tetrahydrofuran. The reagent behaves similarly to anhydrous chromium(II) chloride, which is commercially available, and reduces allylic halides to produce unisolable allylchromium species which add efficiently to aldehydes or ketones with high degree of stereo- and chemoselectivity. Particularly, high threo selectivity is observed in the reaction of aldehydes and 1-bromo-2-butene and is ascribed to a chair-like six-membered transition state. Simple reduction of allylic and benzylic halides produces biallyls and bibenzyls, while gem-dibromocyclopropanes afford the corresponding allenes in excellent yields.

Ein durch die Reduktion von Cr(III) mit LiAlH4 hergestelltes Reagenz vennittelt die Bildung von Homoallylalkoholen, wie z.B. (III), aus Carbonylverbindungen und Allylbromid‐Derivaten.
