79. The reaction of allylmagnesium bromide with 10 has been described previously. However, only the direct allylation was reported and an almost equimolar mixture of syn- and anti-13b was obtained: D. D. Dhavale, L. Gentilucci, M. G. Piazza, C. Trombini, Liebigs Ann. Chem. 1992, 1289-1295.
80. When the reactions were carried out on the 10-20 mmol scale, the solution of precomplexed nitrone was precooled to -50 °C and added slowly by cannula to the cooled solution of allylmagnesium bromide.
