Commercial antimony metal, in aqueous 1 M H(D)Cl solution, reacts with allyl bromide and aldehydes to give the corresponding homoallylic alcohols in good yield. The reaction proceeds through the formation of allylstibine intermediates. The structures of the allylstibine intermediates are likely to be allylstibine dibromide and diallylstibine bromide.Key words: allylation reaction, aqueous organometallic reactions, homoallylic alcohols, allylstibine dibromide, diallylstibine bromide.

Novel homoallylic alcohols incorporating sulfone moieties were synthesized by the treatment of different carbonyl compounds with allylic bromides in aqueous mediaviasonochemical Barbier-type reaction conditions. Sulfonation ofα-bromoketones with sodium benzenesulfinate in presence of CuI/2,6-lutidine rapidly gaveβ-keto-sulfones in good yields. In general, ultrasound irradiation offered the advantages of high yields, short reaction times, and simplicity compared to the conventional methods. The structures of all the compounds were confirmed by analytical and spectral data.

The development of organometallic-type reactions in aqueous media is reviewed. Coupling reactions of allyl halides with carbonyl compounds mediated by zinc, or tin, or indium in aqueous media to give homoallylic alcohols are discussed. The stereochemical outcome is compared with similar reactions in organic solvents. A concise synthesis of (+)-muscarine is used to illustrate the usefulness of aqueous organometallic-type reactions in organic synthesis. The procedure to protect–deprotect hydroxy functional groups may not be necessary in these reactions. An application in the carbohydrate area is demonstrated with the synthesis of (+)-3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nonulosonic acid (KDN). The mechanistic possibilities of organometallic-type reactions in aqueous media are outlined.
