Sodium Perborate: A Facile Catalyst for Allylation of Active Centers

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Abstract

An efficient and ecofriendly allylation of O-H, N-H, and C-H groups has been achieved successfully with the reaction of allyl bromide by using sodium perborate as a new catalyst in aqueous media. The advantage of this method is operationally simple, short reaction time, good yield, and simple workup conditions over the previously reported conventional methods such as amination, oxyalkylation reactions of allyl bromide, and Friedel–Crafts allylation chemistry.
