5.2.28 Product Subclass 28: Allylstannanes

Abstract This manuscript is a revision of an earlier Science of Synthesis contribution describing methods for the synthesis of allylstannanes. The principal routes to allylstannanes are discussed, with the most important being those involving stannylmetal species and allyl halides or allylmetal species and stannyl halides, including Barbier reactions. Other important methods discussed include palladium-catalyzed reactions with allylic acetates, reactions of allylic sulfur derivatives, eliminations, stannylation of allenes, and the reaction of stannyl anion equivalents with carbonyls.
