A new synthetic route to allylsilanes: the reaction of silyllithium reagents with aromatic carbonyl compounds and aluminium tris(2,6-diphenylphenoxide) (ATPH)

Abstract

Conjugate 1,6-addition of silyllithium reagents to aromatic carbonyl substrates in the presence of the carbonyl protector aluminium tris(2,6-diphenylphenoxide) (ATPH) gives allylsilanes.
