TT-Allylpalladium chloride (36) reacts with the nucleophiles, generating Pd(0). whereas tr-allylnickel chloride (37) and allylmagnesium bromide (38) reacts with electrophiles (carbonyl), generating Ni(II) and Mg(II). Therefore, it is understandable that the Grignard reaction cannot be carried out with a catalytic amount of Mg, whereas the catalytic reaction is possible with the regeneration of an active Pd(0) catalyst, Pd is a noble metal and Pd(0) is more stable than Pd(II). The carbon-metal bonds of some transition metals such as Ni and Co react with nucleophiles and their reactions can be carried out catalytic ally, but not always. In this respect, Pd is very unique. 

The 5-oxohexanal 27 is prepared by the following three-step procedure (1) 1,2-addition of allylmagnesium bromide to an a, / -unsaturated aldehyde to give the 3-hydroxy-1,5-diene 25, (2) oxy-Cope rearrangement of 25 to give 26, and (3) palladium catalyzed oxidation to afford 27. The method was applied to the synthesis of A -2-octalone (28), which is difficult to prepare by the Robinson annulation[25]. 

D. a-Allyl- -bromoelhyl ethyl ether. The same apparatus is used as in the preparation of allylmagnesium bromide. The flask is charged with an amount of the Grignard solution (part C) equivalent to 2.78 moles of allylmagnesium bromide (or chloride) and cooled in an ice bath. A solution of 580 g. (2.5 moles) of o , 3-dibromoethyl ethyl ether (part B) in an equal volume of anhydrous ether is added slowly with stirring over a period of 3-4 hours. The mixture is allowed to stand overnight and is then hydrolyzed with 75 ml. of 20% acetic acid followed by 500 ml. of water. The ether layer is separated, washed with four 100-ml. portions of 10% aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution followed by four 100-ml. portions of saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over 100 g. of anhydrous calcimn sulfate, and distilled under reduced pressure. The yield of colorless a-allyl-/3-bromoethyl ethyl ether is 370-396 g. (77-82% based on the a, 3-dibromoethyl ethyl ether), b.p. 72-75°/21 mm., 1.4600-1.4606.

Quinoxalines undergo facile addition reactions with nucleophilic reagents. The reaction of quinoxaline with allylmagnesium bromide gives, after hydrolysis of the initial adduct, 86% of 2,3-diallyl-l,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline. Quinoxaline is more reactive to this nucleophile than related aza-heterocyclic compounds, and the observed order of reactivity is pyridine < quinoline isoquinoline < phenan-thridine acridine < quinoxaline. ... 

Solutions of 7.5 g (40 mmol) of triisopropyl borate in 10 mL of dry diethyl ether and 40 mmol of 0.87 M allylmagnesium bromide in diethyl ether arc added dropwisc separately to 10 mL of diethyl ether at — 78 °C. This mixture is stirred for 0.5 h at —78 JC, then is allowed to warm to r.t. and stirred for 3 h. The slurry is recooled to 0 C. and then 40 mmol or 1 N aq hydrochloric acid saturated with NaCl are added dropwise over 15 min. The mixture is warmed to r.t., and stirring is continued for 10 min. The organic layer is separated and directly treated with 9.4 g (40 mmol) of diisopropyl (/ ,/ )-tartrate (DIPT). The aqueous phase is extracted with three 50-mL portions of diethyl elher/CH.CI, 5 1. The combined organic layers are dried over anhyd MgS04 for 2.5 h, then filtered under argon. The filtrate is concentrated in vacuo and toluene is added to give a final volume of 50 mL. The concentration of reactive allylboronate is determined by treatment of a 1 mL aliquot of this solution with a known excess of cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde. This...

Another example of a [2s+2sh-1c+1co] cycloaddition reaction was observed by Barluenga et al. in the sequential coupling reaction of a Fischer carbene complex, a ketone enolate and allylmagnesium bromide [120]. This reaction produces cyclopentanol derivatives in a [2S+2SH-1C] cycloaddition process when -substituted lithium enolates are used (see Sect. 3.1). However, the analogous reaction with /J-unsubstituted lithium enolates leads to the diastereoselective synthesis of 1,3,3,5-tetrasubstituted cyclohexane- 1,4-diols. The ring skeleton of these compounds combines the carbene ligand, the enolate framework, two carbons of the allyl unit and a carbonyl ligand. Overall, the process can be considered as a for-...

In Section 5.1.3 the conversion of aldehydes 491 and 494 into N-silylated Schiff bases and their in-situ reaction with allylmagnesium bromide into unsaturated secondary amines 493 and 495 is described. Likewise, reactions of the N-silylated Schiff bases such as 489 with the lithium enolate of methyl isobutyrate 498 to give yS-lactams such as 499 are also discussed in Section 5.1.3. 

Structural rearrangements are not encountered with saturated Grignard reagents, but allylic and homoallylic systems can give products resulting from isomerization. NMR studies indicate that allylmagnesium bromide exists as a CT-bonded structure in which there is rapid equilibration of the two terminal carbons.101 Similarly,...

The oxepane and oxepanone derivatives 51 and 52 respectively, were made by allylindation of, or allylmagnesium bromide addition to, acyclic tetrakis(tetrahydrofuranyl) dialdehydes. The solid state conformation of 52 was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis <00JOC4303>. 

Preparation. The reagent can be prepared in 94% yield by the reaction of allylmagnesium bromide with bis(tributyltin) oxide in ether. Sonication is useful for initiation of the Grignard reaction.
