  • Typical experimental procedure is as follows: To a suspension of anhydrous tin(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate (104.2 mg, 0.25 mmol) and benzyloxy-trimethylsilane (90.2 mg, 0.50 mmol) in CH3CN (2 ml) were added benzaldehyde ethylene acetal (37.5 mg, 0.25 mmol) in CH3CN (1.5 ml) and allyltrimethylsilane (40.0 mg, 0.35 mmol) in CH3CN (1.5 ml) successively at -20 °C under an argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h at -20 °C and quenched with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate. The organic materials were extracted with dichloromethane and the combined extracts were washed with brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated and 4-benzyloxy-4-phenyl-l-butene (55.4 mg, 93%) was isolated by thin-layer chromatography on silica gel (ether : hexane = 1:7).1H NMR(400MHz, CDC13) 7.39–7.25 (m, 10H), 5.83–5.72 (m, 1H), 5.05 (d, J = 14.1 Hz, 1H), 5.01 (d, J=9.2 Hz, 1H), 4.46(d, J = 12.0 Hz, 1H), 4.26(d, J= 12.0 Hz, 1H), 2.47–2.41 (m, 1H). 13CNMR(100MHz, CDCl3) 141.8, 138.5, 134.9, 128.4 128.3, 127.7, 127.6, 127.4, 126.9, 116.8, 81.1, 70.3, 42.6
