“…Since those reports, organometallic Mannich reactions of this type have been intensively studied. The number of catalysts useable has grown considerably, and the scope has been extended by using SnCl 2 , [18] Bi(OTf ) 3 , [19] La(OTf ) 3 , [20] Montmorillonite KSF clay, [21] Selectfluor, [22] LiClO 4 , [23] [Bmim]BF 4 , [24] Sc(OTf ) 3 , [25] polystyrene-supported Yb salts, [26] a polystyrenesupported sulfonamide of glycine, [27] maleic acid, [28] BrS + Me 2 ,Br -, [29] 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (TCT), [30] sulfamic acid, [31] camphorsulfonic acid (CSA), [32] ZrOCl 2 , [33] HClO 4 / SiO 2 , [34] phosphomolybdic acid (PMA)/SiO 2 , [35] CuI, [36] HfCl 4 (prenyl), [37] FeCl 3 , [38] PMA, [39] Bi(NO 3 ) 3 , [40] and In(OTf ) 3 . [41] The organometallic Mannich reaction with allyltributylstannane (22) has recently been exploited by Singh and coworkers in an elegant approach to isoindolinones 26 and tetrahydroisoquinolines 27.…”
