Preparation of substituted allyl acetates and sulfones from Baylis–Hillman adducts in ionic liquid media

Abstract Reactions of potassium acetate and the sodium salt of p-toluenesulfinic acid with acetates of Baylis–Hillman adducts produce substituted allyl acetates and allyl sulfones respectively. Ionic liquids are utilized in place of conventional solvents.

Preparation of (Z)- and (E)-vinyl selenides utilizing vinylboronic acids and vinylboronic esters in ionic liquids

Vinylboronic acids and vinylboronic esters react with phenylselenyl chloride in ionic liquids to generate vinyl selenides stereospecifically.

Allylboration of carbonyl compounds in ionic liquids

Room-temperature ionic liquids are suitable reaction media for the allylboration of carbonyl compounds. A wide variety of aldehydes and ketones react with allyldiisopropoxyborane in butylmethylimidazolium bromide at room temperature to yield homoallyic alcohols.
