Novel carbonyl allylation mediated by SnCl2/Cu in water

Making and Breaking of Sn−C and In−C Bonds in Situ: The Cases of Allyltins and Allylindiums

“…Guo and co-workers have presented the synthesis of homoallylic alcohol in water alone using SnCl 2 • 2H 2 O and catalytic copper metal as the reagent (Scheme 56). 44 Synthesis of a chiral allyltin(IV) reagent is achieved from tin(II)-catecholate [Sn(O 2 C 6 H 4 )], allyl halide, chiral dialkyl tartrate, and DBU (Scheme 57). 45 This reagent reacts with aldehyde in the presence of catalytic copper(I) or copper(II) salts to form homoallylic alcohol in high enantioselectivity.…”

Recent advances in tin ion detection using fluorometric and colorimetric chemosensors

“…14,15 Tin is also utilised in the manufacturing of biodiesel, the allylation of carbonyl compounds, and the preparation of PGF derivatives, graphene sheets, and indole and coumarin derivatives. [16][17][18][19][20][21] Besides, tin may produce organotin by forming covalent bonds with carbon. Although tin can appear in either the Sn 2+ or Sn 4+ oxidation state, practically all organotins have a tetravalent structure.…”

A new organometallic synthesis of size-controlled tin(0) nanoparticles

“…We have chosen to investigate the synthesis of Sn(0) nanoparticles, since it is the metal of choice for numerous application in catalysis (e.g. allylation of carbonyl compounds [16,17], promoters in heterogeneous catalysis [18,19]) but also as lithium storage materials for lithium-ion batteries due to its specific capacity (992 mA h g −1 ) being much higher than that of graphite (372 mA h g −1 ) [20][21][22][23]. The cycling stability of Li-alloy anodes under Li-ion battery utilization is, however, often limited by the rapid mechanical disintegration due to the drastic volume changes (typically of the order of 100%) of metallic host matrices [24,25].…”
