Pd-Et3B catalytic system promotes the generation of allyl cations, allyl anions, and zwitterionic trimethylenemethane species from the corresponding allylic alcohols. Allyl cations react with a wide variety of nucleophiles, e.g., amines, active methylene compounds, 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene, indoles, aldehydes (at the α-position). The reaction is extended to dehydrative Grob fragmentation of 1,3-diols. Allyl anions react with aldimines to give homoallyl amines. Zwitterionic trimethylenemethane, generated from 2-methylene-1,3-propanediol, reacts with aldehydes and aldimines to provide 3-methylenecyclopentanols and 3-methylenepyrrolidines, respectively. Vinyl epoxide can be utilized as a synthetic equivalent of 3-butenyl 2-anion-1-cation.
