TL;DR: The reaction of allyl bromides with allyl tin reagents, catalyzed by palladium or zinc chloride gives cross-coupled products without allylic transpostion in the allyl halide partner but with predominate allylic rearrangement from the tin partner as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The reaction of tin enolates of cyclohexanone or propiophenone with benzaldehyde at −78°C gives predominately the threo aldol diastereomer.

TL;DR: Myrcene and β-farnesene have been synthesized by the zinc chloride catalyzed coupling reaction of (2-methylene-3-butenyl)trimethyltin with prenyl bromides and geranyl bromide, respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper, a catalyzed coupling of 4 and 3,3-dimethylbutynylstannane results in the formation of Terbinafine (1a ).
