Abstract
The enantioselective addition of allyltributyltin to simple aldehydes (2a -l ), catalyzed by chiral (salen)Cr(III) complexes 1 , has been studied. The reaction proceeds smoothly with low loading (1-2 mol%) of (salen)Cr(III)BF4 (1a ) and allyltributyltin under high-pressure conditions (10 kbar) in good yield and ee values in the range of 35-79%.
Key words
aldehydes - allylstannane - asymmetric catalysis - high-pressure technique - homoallylic alcohols - salen-chromium complexes

General Procedure for the High-Pressure Allylation:
4 (2a , usually 13.7mg, 2 mol%), ca. 1 mL of solvent (usually CH2 Cl2 ), followed by aldehyde (usually 1 mmol) and allyltributyltin (1.1 equiv). Finally, the ampoule was made up with solvent, closed and placed in a high-pressure vessel, and pressure was slowly increased to 10 kbar at 20 °C. After stabilization of pressure, the reaction mixture was kept under these conditions for 24 h. After decompression, the reaction mixture was diluted with wet Et2 O, and dried over MgSO4 . After evaporation of solvents, the residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column using hexane-EtOAc. All liquid aldehydes were distilled prior to use.
21 Enantioselectivity of homoallylic alcohols 3a -l was determined by GC employing a capillary chiral β-dex 120 column. Alcohols 3c ,k were analyzed directly, 3a ,b ,d -h ,j as their O -trimethylsilyl derivatives, 3i as a trifluoroacetate and 3l as a isopropylidene derivative of pent-4-ene-1,2-diol.
