Abstract
It is reported that Hg(ClO4)2 3 3H2O could efficiently activate the cheap but less reactive allyltrimethylsilane for the allylation of isatins or isatin ketoimines, with catalyst loading down to 0.1 mol %. This is the first example of Sakurai-Hosomi allylation of ketoimines using allyltrimethylsilane. A rare example of chiral mercury catalysis is also reported.
