Allylation of carbonyl compounds is one of the most interesting processes for the preparation of homoallylic alcohols. Over the past few decades, many reagents have been developed for such reactions[1~3]. In this paper, we first report allylic zinc reagent 1, which can be prepared from zinc dust and allyl bromide conveniently in THF, and reacted with aromatic aldehyde to give homo-allylic alcohols under microwave irradiation.……
Styrylstilbenes and their derivatives are a kind of organic luminescent materials. A variety of synthetic methods have been reported, and their physical properties have been studied. [1,2] A series of para-substituted styrylstilbenes were synthesized by Wittig or Arbusor-Horner reaction as a key step forming C=C bonds.……
An rapid and efficient synthesis of 2, 4, 6-triarylpyridines is reported using substituted benzaldehydes, substituted acetophenones and ammonia as starting materials under microwave irradiation in the presence of PEG-400.
