Rh(I) catalyzes the reductive coupling reaction of a wide variety of aldehydes with conjugateddienes in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of triethylborane to provide homoallyl alcohols in a single operation.
In this study, the Bu2SnIH-catalyzed direct coupling of 1,3-dienes with aldehydes was developed. This reaction could be suitable for coupling without the use of transition-metal catalysts. Many types of aldehydes were applied to this reaction. The addition of MeOH promoted the catalytic cycle.
Allylic indiums, generated by a conjugate hydroindation of 1,3-dienes by HInCl2, reacted with carbonyl compounds in a one-pot treatment. Both γ- and α-adducts can be obtained depending upon the conditions used.

Allyltrichlorosilanes regioselectively reacted with aldehydes in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) without a catalyst to afford the corresponding homoallylic alcohols in high yields. The reactions proceeded under neutral conditions, and syn- and anti-homoallylic alcohols were stereoselectively obtained from (Z)- and (E)-allyltrichlorosilanes, respectively. In these reactions, DMF coordinated to the silicon atom of the allyltrichlorosilanes to form hypervalent silicates, which in turn reacted with aldehydes smoothly. Solvent effects in these reactions were also examined. The reactions were applied to the one-pot synthesis of homoallylic alcohols from allylic chlorides via organosilicon intermediates. While syn-homoallylic alcohols were prepared from (Z)-allyl chlorides, antihomoallylic alcohols were obtained from (E)-allyl chlorides. Unique regioselectivities in the reactions of 1-chloro-2,4-pentadiene were also found. Finally, the one-pot synthesis of homoallylic alcohols from 1,3-dienes is reported.
