Homogeneous Sc(OTf)<sub>3</sub> used in nitromethane showed excellent catalytic activity for the direct allylation reactions of general alcohols including benzylic, propargylic, allylic, and some aliphatic alcohols with allyltrimethylsilane under mild and neutral reaction conditions. Metal-free β-silyl-substituted carbocations are intermediates generated by the highly oxophilic Sc(OTf)<sub>3</sub>-assisted rapid removal of a hydroxyl group in alcohols, which is supported by the result that allyl ...[more]
