Abstract
Stereochemically-biased bicyclic allylic acetates endo- and exo-1 were shown as being allyl donors for Pd-catalyzed carbonyl allylation using stoichiometric quantities of samarium diodide. Cyclopentenyl acetate and bicyclic derivatives 1 react with cyclic ketones in the presence of SmI2 without requirement of palladium catalysis. Use of enantiomerically enriched substrate suggests that the reaction goes through a π-allyl samarium complex. However, this reactivity appears to be restricted to strained cyclopentenyl acetates since other linear and cyclic allylic acetates do not give the carbonyl allylation product.
