A large variety of carbonyl substrates can be allylated with 1 under neutral conditions. In the case of dicarbonyl compounds, products 2 form chemoselectively. The driving force of this reaction is ascribed to the latent Lewis acidity, which is induced by chelation of neutral, bidentate bis(stannane)s on the carbonyl group (structure A ).
