Palladium- and platinum-catalysed addition of aldehydes with allylstannanes

Abstract
The reaction of allylic stannanes 1 with aldehydes 2(or a ketone) takes place in the presence of catalytic amounts of PdCl2(PPh3)2 or PtCl2(PPh3)2 to give the corresponding homoallyl alcohols 3 in good to high yields.
