Monoallylation and monoalkylation of diketones and β-keto esters with allylic and benzylic alcohols catalysed by [Cp*Co(CH<sub>3</sub>CN)<sub>3</sub>][SbF<sub>6</sub>]<sub>2</sub> (I) are reported. The method does not require any additive and affords regioselective products. The mechanistic investigations were done by <i>in situ</i> <sup>1</sup>H NMR spectroscopy as well as control experiments. It has been shown that reactions proceed <i>via</i> η<sup>3</sup>-allyl complex formation or ally ethe ...[more]
