11. 2Zn (240 mol %) in THF (3 mL) - n-hexane (1.2 mL) at room temperature, α- and γ-methylallyl alcohols (1 mmol) react with benzaldehyde (1.2 mmol) to provide mixtures of anti- and syn-2-methyl-1-phenyl- 3-buten-1-ols in the same ratio (2.4:1). The same reactions with α- and γ-phenylallyl alcohols provide anti- and syn-1,2-diphenyl-3-buten-1-ols in the same, but in higher ratios of 10:1: Tamaru, Y. J. Organomet. Chem. 1999, 576, 215.

24. Allylation with allyl alcohol was reported for benzaldehyde-imine using an umpolung technique of π-allylpalladium with indium(I) iodide. Allyl bromide, iodide, acetate, and carbonate showed good yields; however chloride and alcohol moderate and poor yields, respectively. See ref 12b.
