Abstract
The allylation reactions of carbonyl compounds using 1,8-bis(dibutylstannyl)naphthalene 1 (R = Bu) were dramatically promoted by using a mixture of THF and CF3CH2OH (5 : 1) as solvent. The rate acceleration was due to the enhancement of the Brønsted acidity of CF3CH2OH by the formation of the chelate complex 6 (R = CH2CF3) resulting from the chelation effect of two neighboring tin atoms.
